Question

Why are bryophytes dependent on water?

Answer 1

Bryophytes

1. Bryophytes are a class of non-vascular, non-flowering plant that grows on land and include mosses, hornworts, and liverworts.
2. They take water and nutrients from the air through their surface because they lack roots and vascular structure.
3. Water is necessary for bryophyte reproduction.
4. Water is necessary for the male gametes (sperm) to reach the female gamete.
