Question

How do bryophytes avoid drying out?

Answer 1

Bryophytes

1. Plants that grow in moist environments are known as bryophytes.
2. They lack roots as well as a well-developed conducting tissue.
3. They have rhizoids (root-like structures) that anchor the plant to the soil while also absorbing water and minerals.
4. The waxy cuticle of bryophytes keeps the tissues from drying out.
5. Additionally, certain bryophyte species have their chlorophyll undergo structural changes to withstand dry conditions.
