Bryophyte

If we look at how plants stand erect. The bryophytes are little better than the thallophyte. The bryophyte comprises plants that are very short and dwarf like the mosses and liverworts. These kind of plants grow well in the shady areas under the shade, on the surface of stone, wall, on the bark of trees on terraces. If you observe mosses ‘you can see on the outer surface of flower pot on the height of old footpath’ you may have seen them dry and lifeless during dry season but when the rain comes they all become green and soft like if they got back the lost life. These plants can tolerate dry weather and wet weather conditions in fact they seems to grow well when there is alternate wet and dry days. Hence they are also called the amphibians of the plant kingdom just frog of the animals’ kingdom.
