Bryophyte

Bryophytes make up the division Bryophyta. They consist of mosses, liverworts and hornworts. Bryophytes are simple, nonvascular plants that inhabit land, logs, rocks, or streams but they lack may terrestrial adaptations of vascular plants.They have no true roots and no flowers. Above I took a picture of a moss that grew beside a log since mosses are one example of bryophytes.
