Liverworts Liverworts are part of a family that has hornworts, and moss in it this family is called Bryophyta that is a nonvascular family. Liverworts grow flat in moist soil scientist believe that the liverwort has been around for 400 million years. The liverworts have a male and a female the male plant has a flat laid out head, the female has the hand shaped head. When liverworts grow they grow on the north side of things, but they have no wood tissue so they never grow very big. They will grow in water and in any moist area. Liverworts when they grow on water will lie out and float on the water.
Moss Moss is part of a nonvascular family that includes Liverworts, and hornworts. When the moss grows it will grow together in a group places moss will grow are on old fallen trees, rocks, moist soil, and on the north side of tree trucks. Unlike the liverworts moss grows in terrestrial habitats. Like the liverwort moss will never grow very big. You would find moss mostly in shady areas or in moist areas, the most moss you could find in one place would be a shady and moist area. Moss will too grow in water or it will grow in a high elevation like other plants.
Hornworts Hornworts are also part of the family that liverworts, and moss are in. Hornworts are very similar to liverworts. Hornworts name comes from the sporophytes which have a long horn like shape. You can find Hornworts world wide, but they tend to grow in tropical, subtropical, and moist areas. They are related to aquatic plants which are found in slow moving water. They grow together in groups as tiny weeds in the soil of gardens or cultivated fields. The female and male hornworts look the same.
The ancients thought that liverwort could cure diseases to the liver. Some common gameotphyts have flattened gametophytes with lobes resembling those of liver the combination “liverwort.” Although the lobed liverworts are the best-known representatives of this phylum, they constitute only about 20% of the species
Mosses
The gametophytes of mosses typically consist of small leaflike structures (not true leaves which contain vascular tissue) arranged spirally or alternately around a stemlike axis (figure 37.4); the axis is anchored to its substrate by means of rhizoids.
Hornwort
The small hornwort sporophytes resemble tiny green broom handles rising from filmy gametophytes usually less than 2 centimeters in diameter. The sporophyte base is embedded in gametophyte tissue, from which it derives some of its nutrition. However, the sporophyte has stomata, is photosynthetic, and provides much of the energy needed for growth and reproduction. Hornwort cells usually have a single chloroplast.
mosses are small, soft plants that are typically 1-10 cm (0.4 4in)tall, through some species are much lager. They commonly grow close together in clumps or mats in damp or shady locations. They do not have flowers or seeds, and their simple leaves. cover the thin wiry stems there are about 1200 speice of moss in the world. moss is usally found on rocks and mosses are found chifley in areas of dampness and low light plus they have a habit of being in cracs bwetween paving stones in damp city streets
liver wort is a kind of species' of moss that looks like a hand. the mainareas that likes to live in are the more forestey area and it haze to be a place that is really damp area that hazes nutrients for moss. liverworts do not have flowers (and thus do not produce seed), instead they archegoniophores and antherdiophores (female and male sex organs). liverwort are unisexusl, whith male and female sex organs forming on diffrent plants. antheridiophores look like an umbrella while the female achegoniophores have finger- like projections.
Mosses are small, green, and non-flowery plants that grow close together in damp and shady places. They can grow on soil, rocks, barks on trees, or in shallow streams. Moss is has no roots, no stems, leaves and vascular tissue. The mosses life cycle produces sex cells. Sometimes both gametes are produced on the same plant. Both the egg and sperm are produced by mitosis and are monoploid. The second sperm cell swims through water until they are able to reach the egg. The fertilization will occur when the egg and sperm unite. After the egg is fertilized it has to sets of chromosomes and grows on the top of the gametophyte. Although this is a new plant it is not called a gametophyte it is called a sporophyte. A sporophyte produces meiosis for each spore being monoploid. When there is a breeze the spore will blow off and repeats it’s self again.
Liverwort
Liverworts, like all plants, have a dibiontic life cycle. A dibiontic life cycle is one that displays two distinct phases that differ in ploidy: haploid and diploid. This phenomenon is known as alternation of generations, and the haploid and diploid phases are also called the gametophyte and the sporophyte, respectively. All land plants have an alternation of multicultural haploid and diploid phases.
Hornwort
Hornworts are a group of non-vascular plant. In common with all plants, liverworts and hornworts have a life cycle with two generations. The green plant that we call a liverwort or a hornwort produces sex cells (eggs and sperm). Inside the green plant an egg and sperm unite into a single cell, which then begins to grow into a spore-producing plant. This new plant remains attached to its parent, which it depends on it for water and nutrients.
Keith Gfeller 4/14/10 science MOSS Moss is a non vascular multi cellular plant. This plant is thin and requires shade and lots of moisture. Commonly found in the forest or under rocks. Some mosses are able to live in the cracks of sidewalks because of their ability to adapt to the sun. There are about 12,000 species of moss.
LIVERWORT Liverwort is also a non vascular plant having around 8,000 species. It has a very wide habitat. It can grow in hot humid places like green house or in cold tundra land like Antarctica. Unlike moss this plant is also thought of as a weed. It also grosses up to 10 centimeters in diameter.
HORNWORT Hornwort are similar to liverwort. Their saprophytes are like long, thick horns. Unlike most plants hornwort has only one chloroplast per cell.
Gracie 4/13/10 What makes liverwort, moss, and hornwort different from each other and other plants?
First off, liverwort, moss, and hornwort are nonvascular plants, meaning they do not have the vascular tissue that ferns, club moss, horsetail, and seed plants have. Also, nonvascular plants are always small. Most nonvascular plants have chloroplasts in all of their cells, that way photosynthesis happens throughout the plant. Moss: One of the 10.000 different kinds of mosses can live on just about any place on earth! Many mosses grow small and live close to the ground, although there are mosses that perform similar to vascular plants. Those mosses can grow to be about 30 inches tall! Liverworts: The differences between liverworts and mosses can only be seen under close examination. For instance, the rhizoid in liverwort contains one stretched cell, while the one in moss has several cells. All liverworts fit under two groups; some are long and flat while others have a structure with leaf looking objects. Hornwort: Hornworts are close to liverworts. Hornworts get their name from their sporophytes, which are long and look like horns. Also, a typical plant cell has just many chloroplasts, but a hornwort’s just has on.
Liverwort, moss, and hornwort are alike vascular plants because there color, they can also produce sexually and asexually. The differences are vascular plants have tissues which transport water, minerals and photosynthetic materials throughout the plant’s roots, stems, and leaves. Non-vascular plants can't do these things. Vascular plant makeup the majority of plants on earth today. Also non-vascular plants don’t have stems roots or leaves vascular plants do. Vascular plants are able to grow to a larger size than nonvascular plants, which lack woody tissue that is needed to provide support for larger growth. Nonvascular plants naturally grow to around 1-2 centimeters, while vascular plants can grow many feet high. Non vascular plants are also more commonly found in damp and shady areas, since they do not have vascular tissue to hydrate their bodies. Instead, they must absorb water on their surface, making it difficult to survive for long periods in dry areas. Vascular plants, however, can survive in most any climate as long as their basic needs for water, sunlight, and appropriate temperatures are met. There are more such as there are more types of vascular plants then there are non-vascular. These are the differences and common thing these type of plant have in common. Nonvascular-In these groups, the primary plants are the haploid gametophytes, with the only diploid portion being the attached sporophyte, consisting of a stalk and sporangium. Vascular-Only the germ cells and gametophytes are haploid. By contrast, the principal generation phase in non-vascular plants is usually the gametophyte, which is haploid with one set of chromosomes per cell. In these plants, generally only the spore stalk and capsule are diploid.
All of the bryophyta plants go through a stage called gametophyte which is a stage where the plant produces a gamete. They also go through a stage called sporophyte wear the plant produces a spore. The plants each have a little root called a rhizoid that connects it to the ground.

Also, nonvascular plants are always small. Most nonvascular plants have chloroplasts in all of their cells, that way photosynthesis happens throughout the plant. Nonvascular plants lack real leaves, real stems, and real roots. Their “roots” are rhizoids, rhizoids are thin and rootlike; it only job is to keep the plant in place. It does, though, become dormant when the environment becomes dry, and when water returns the plant goes back to normal. The dominant stage of a nonvascular plant’s life is the gametophyte stage. This is true but unusual, for most plants the dominant stage is the sporophyte stage. Moss: One of the 10.000 different kinds of mosses can live on just about any place on earth!

hello mrs.cochran skunk cabbage this unusual plant has only one leaf. it grows in swampy areas with snow. the snow any how wont be their long this amazing plant can produce enough heat to melt the snow around it. the strong smell this produces is twice as wierd as the heat this smell reeks very bad, this is where it gets its name. this bad smell also helps the plant by attracting bees, flies, and nats to polonate the flower. Other common names include Yellow Skunk Cabbage and Swamp Lantern.
