Riccia belongs to the class Liver worts. They have dorsiventrally flattened lobed plant body with unicellular rhizoids. The mature sporophyte of Riccia is a globular capsule, embedded within the gametophytic plant and is without foot and seta. The sporophyte contains the mature haploid spores. The spores are liberated by the decay of venter wall and surrounding gametophytic tissue.
