Why are bryophytes called amphibious plants in plant kingdom?

2. The antherozoids use water to travel to the archegonia.
3. After sexual reproduction, bryophytes can grow submerged in water or on land.
4. Bryophytes are amphibians because they live in soil but require water for fertilization or asexual reproduction.
