Bryophytes are often referred to as the "amphibians of the plant kingdom" because they share some characteristics with both aquatic and terrestrial organisms.
· Bryophytes include mosses, liverworts, and hornworts, and they are among the earliest land plants to have evolved from aquatic ancestors.
· Bryophytes are non-vascular plants, which means they have no roots or vascular tissue, but instead absorb water and nutrients from the air through their surface (e.g., their leaves).
· Algae are commonly found in water and rarely on the land, whereas the bryophytes are land inhabiting plants. However, they still need water for the movement of the male gametes.
