- Summary:
- Bryophytes--mosses, liverworts, and hornworts--are small, spore-producing plants that thrive in diverse habitats worldwide. Unlike vascular plants, they absorb water and nutrients externally, a trait that has contributed to their long evolutionary success. This comprehensive work explores their evolution, anatomy, and life cycles, offering a detailed look at these ancient, often overlooked organisms.
