Bryophyta group of plants are called the amphibians of the plant kingdom because they grow in moist soil but need water for reproduction.
These plants are thalloid, multicellular and autotrophic.
They reproduce by spore-formation.
Their plant body structure is flat, ribbon-like, long, without true roots, stem and leaves.
Instead, they have stem-like or leaf-like parts and root-like rhizoids.
They do not have specific tissues for the conduction of food and water.
Examples: Moss (Funaria), Anthoceros, Riccia etc.
