- Marchantia is a genus of
bryophytic plants which consists of a group of liverworts.
-
It shows differentiation and can

with a distinct upper epidermis with air channels.
-
In asexual reproduction, the
thallus (haploid) has tiny cup-like structures called gemmae
cups are used.
-
Protonema is a compact and a
filamentous structure with short rhizoids is formed from a haploid
spore, which forms thalli by mitotic divisions
-
In sexual reproduction, the sperms from antheridia which is
also called the antherozoids (flagellated) on the male plant
fertilizes the egg cell present in the archegonium of a female
plant.
