Mosses typically thrive in moist environments, as they require water for reproduction and to maintain hydration. However, some moss species can tolerate dry conditions for short periods by becoming dormant. Ferns, on the other hand, generally prefer humid, shaded habitats and do not grow well in dry environments. Both types of plants are more commonly found in damp, shaded areas rather than arid conditions.
Ferns, mosses etc
Because mosses rely on diffusion to transport water up the cells and do not have the vessels found in plant cells that allow water to be carried upwards.
I believe mosses and ferns release spores that become other mosses and ferns later on.
Ferns are vascular plants. They contain vascular strands that allow water and nutrients to be transferred throughout the the plant. Mosses lack the vascular strands(or tissue) causing the mosses to have a much smaller stature because they are not able to transfer nutrients very well.
Mosses and ferns grow from spores as do some fungi.
Ferns are considered more advanced than mosses because they have vascular tissues like xylem and phloem, which mosses lack. Vascular tissues allow ferns to transport water and nutrients more efficiently throughout the plant, enabling them to grow taller and have more complex structures. This gives ferns an evolutionary advantage over mosses in terms of size and complexity.
Mosses and Ferns both reproduce using spores instead of seeds or flowers. Mosses and Ferns are both plants. Mosses and Ferns are both made up of cells. Mosses and Ferns both photosynthesize.

Mosses are non-vascular plants whereas ferns are vascular. In ferns Sporophyte is dominant but in mosses gametophyte is dominant generation. Ferns have definite roots but in mosses leaves and roots are mostly false.
Angiosperms have flowers, fruits and seeds. However ferns, horsetails, and club mosses do not have either of these.
