Close look on several species of moss #206091437
Description
Vegetation on the stone green during winter Mosses, the taxonomic division Bryophyta bryophytes are small, flowerless plants that typically form dense green clumps or mats, often in damp or shady locations leaves that are generally only one cell thick, attached to a stem that may be branched or unbranched and has only a limited role in conducting water and nutrients. Although some species have conducting tissues, these are generally poorly developed and structurally different from similar tissue found in vascular plants Mosses do not have seeds and after fertilisation develop sporophytes with unbranched stalks topped with single capsules containing spores. They are typically 0.2ââ¬â10 cm 0.1ââ¬â3.9 in tall, though some species are much larger. Dawsonia, the tallest moss in the world, can grow to 50 cm in height
