What is moss?<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Mosses are small, non-vascular flowerless plants which belong to the an ancient group or plants called  bryophytes<\/strong>, which comprise liverworts,<\/strong> mosses<\/strong>, and hornworts<\/strong>. The individual plants are usually composed of simple leaves that are generally only one cell thick, attached to a stem that may be branched or unbranched..<\/p>

The gametophyt<\/em><\/strong>e<\/em> is the leafy part of a moss that does most of the photosynthesizing. It makes eggs and\/or sperm, called gametes. It has a stem or stems, and is anchored to the ground by rhizoids, which are not roots since they do not have vascular tissue. The calyptra is also gametophytic. Gametophytic tissue has one set of chromosomes (N). Sporophytic tissue has two sets of chromosomes (2N). In mosses, the sporophyte<\/em> consists of a long sturdy seta with a capsule on top. The capsule opens by the shedding of its operculum, revealing a peristome that liberates the spores.<\/p>
