Solution

Bryophytes are amphibian of the plant kingdom. It is a group of primitive plants having a dominant gametophytic plant body. These can live in soil but depend on water for movement of male gametes called antherozoids to reach archegonium (female organ having egg cell) so that fertilisation can take place.
