Mosses |
The correct answer is Option (1) - Mosses Mosses are non-vascular flowerless plants belonging to the taxonomic division of Bryophyta. Unlike vascular plants (such as pines and ferns), mosses lack specialized tissues for transporting water and nutrients. They are characterized by their simple structure, lack of true roots, stems, and leaves, and are often found in moist environments. Mosses reproduce through spores rather than seeds and play important roles in ecological processes like soil formation and water retention. |
