Moss spreads by a variety of methods. Most species produce small capsules above the leafy part of the plant containing spores. These spores are easily dispersed by wind, water or traffic. After coming into contact with soil, they germinate and form a plant-like structure that is the first stage in the development of moss. Moisture and minerals are absorbed by rhizoids (similar to roots) and produce new buds which give rise to new stems.
Moss is actually a plant, not a fungi. Mosses belong to the phylum Bryophyta and are non-vascular plants. Mosses do not have leaves, they have "leaf-like" structures. Only plants with vascular systems have true leaves. Mosses also do not have roots, they have rhizoids which are "root-like" structures. These rhizoids are primarily for anchoring the moss to it's surface and have little to do with water and mineral absorption as roots in vascular plants do. This is another difference between non-vascular mosses and vascular plants.
Algae and mosses are two examples of plants that can lack true stems, roots, and leaves. These plants typically have simple structures that allow them to absorb nutrients and carry out photosynthesis.
No, xylem and phloem are present in roots, stems, and leaves of plants. Xylem transports water and minerals from roots to stems and leaves, while phloem carries sugars and other nutrients from photosynthetic tissues to other parts of the plant.
Plants that lack true stems, roots, and leaves are called thallophytes. These plants have a simple structure without distinct organs like stems and leaves. Examples include algae and fungi.
No, white moss is not a flowering plant. Mosses belong to a group of small, non-flowering plants that reproduce through spores instead of seeds. They are simple plants that lack true roots, stems, and leaves.
False. Pea plants can have short stems if they have two recessive alleles for short stems, but they can also have short stems if they have a combination of dominant and recessive alleles that result in a short stature.
Mosses are non-vascular plants whereas ferns are vascular. In ferns Sporophyte is dominant but in mosses gametophyte is dominant generation. Ferns have definite roots but in mosses leaves and roots are mostly false.
Algae and mosses are two examples of plants that can lack true stems, roots, and leaves. These plants typically have simple structures that allow them to absorb nutrients and carry out photosynthesis.
they all have true stemes
Bryophytes are non-vascular plants that lack true roots, stems, and leaves. They reproduce via spores and require a moist environment for fertilization to occur. They include mosses, liverworts, and hornworts.
Examples of lycophytes include club mosses, spike mosses, and quillworts. These plants are small and typically have creeping or upright stems with small leaves. Lycophytes are considered some of the oldest vascular plants.
Mosses do not have tubes for moving nutrients and water. They also do not have any true leaves, stems, or roots. Nonvascular plants also do not have transport tubes.
Mosses are non-vascular plants that often grow in dense carpets. They can form lush carpets in various habitats, providing ground cover and helping to retain moisture. Mosses do not have true roots, stems, or leaves.
Moss belongs to the Bryophyte group of plants, while club moss is a type of vascular plant in the Lycophyte group. Mosses are small, non-vascular plants that lack true roots, stems, and leaves, while club mosses have vascular tissues and distinct roots, stems, and leaves. Mosses reproduce via spores, while club mosses reproduce via spores as well as through specialized structures called strobili.
False.
No, moss is not a dicot. Mosses belong to a group of non-vascular plants called bryophytes, which do not have true roots, stems, or leaves like dicots do. Dicots are a type of flowering plant that have two seed leaves (cotyledons) in their embryos.
Club mosses are vascular plants with erect stems that bear spores in club-shaped, cone-like structures. And True mosses are non-vascular plants which have simple leaflike, rootlike, and stem like parts. They're not true leaves, roots, or stems because they lack vascular tissues.
No, xylem and phloem are present in roots, stems, and leaves of plants. Xylem transports water and minerals from roots to stems and leaves, while phloem carries sugars and other nutrients from photosynthetic tissues to other parts of the plant.
