Question

When did bryophytes first appear?

Answer 1

Bryophytes:

1. Bryophyte origin is a part of the rise of terrestrial, vascularized, plants with the sporopollenin-walled spores in the Silurian.
2. Before the end of the Carboniferous time, bryophyte lines were widely present.
3. Bryophytes are a group of seedless plants which is the closest-extant relative to early terrestrial plants.
4. The first bryophytes (liverworts) probably appeared in the Ordovician period, about 450 million years ago.
