Bryophytes must live in wet habitats in order to reproduce. They must have enough water for the sperm to swim over to the egg and fertilize it.
Bryophytes have adaptations such as a waxy cuticle to prevent water loss, rhizoids for anchorage and absorption of water and nutrients, and spores for dispersal and reproduction. These adaptations help bryophytes thrive in moist habitats such as forests, bogs, and damp walls.
Mosses, liverworts, and hornworts are the most widespread groups of bryophytes. They can be found in diverse habitats worldwide, ranging from moist forests to arid deserts. Mosses, with over 12,000 species, are the most abundant and widely distributed bryophytes.
Mosses, liverworts, and hornworts are common types of bryophytes that thrive in moist environments. These plants rely on water for reproduction and nutrient absorption, making them well-suited to damp habitats such as forests, wetlands, and along stream banks.
Both ferns and bryophytes rely on water for spore dispersal, though the mechanisms differ slightly. In ferns, mature spores are released from sporangia, often aided by wind or raindrops, while in bryophytes, spores are typically released from capsules that can open when wet, allowing for dispersal when conditions are right. Both groups produce lightweight spores that can be carried by air or water to suitable habitats for germination. Additionally, both rely on moist environments for successful reproduction, as their gametes require water for fertilization.
Bryophytes have pseudo stems and leaves because they lack the vascular tissues (xylem and phloem) found in higher plants. The pseudo stems and leaves provide support and aid in photosynthesis, essential functions that would otherwise be limited without true vascular tissues. They help bryophytes absorb water and nutrients from their environment and enable them to survive in terrestrial habitats.

Bryophytes and ferns grow in damp or wet areas and out of strong sunlight

so then they can ambush their prey by hiding in the water

itll make the grass impermeable ( wet as hell)
Bryophytes, mosses, are eukaryotic. They have chlorophyll a and b as well as xanthophylls and carotenoid pigments for photosynthesis.
Dolphins, sea lions, tiger seals and wet seals have the same diet needs. Wich is why the wet seal competes with these marine creatures for food and habitats.
