Introduction Bryophytes are often called the “Amphibians of the Plant Kingdom” because they require water for reproduction but can survive on land as well.

Liverworts Example: Marchantia Plant body is dorsiventral, thalloid Asexual reproduction: by fragmentation and gemmae Sexual reproduction: male and female sex organs borne on separate structures 2. Mosses Example: Funaria, Polytrichum Gametophyte has two ...
