🌱 Plant Kingdom – Bryophytes (Mosses & Liverworts) | NEET 2025 Notes

-
Image
Introduction Bryophytes are often called the “Amphibians of the Plant Kingdom” because they require water for reproduction but can survive on land as well. They form a crucial link between algae and pteridophytes. For NEET aspirants, bryophytes are an important NCERT-based topic that often appear in exams with direct questions. --- General Characteristics of Bryophytes Non-vascular plants (no xylem or phloem) Plant body is thalloid (undifferentiated into true root, stem, and leaves) Anchored by rhizoids instead of roots Reproduction occurs through spores Life cycle shows alternation of generations (gametophyte dominant, sporophyte dependent) --- Classification of Bryophytes Bryophytes are divided into three main groups: 1. 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 ...
