Bryophyte. Bryophytes (/ ˈbraɪ.əˌfaɪts /) [ 1 ] are a group of land plants (embryophytes), sometimes treated as a taxonomic division, that contains three groups of non-vascular land plants: the liverworts, hornworts, and mosses. [ 2 ] In the strict sense, the division Bryophyta consists of the mosses only.
Non-vascular plant. Appearance. Mosses are examples of non-vascular plants. Non-vascular plants are plants without a vascular system consisting of xylem and phloem. Instead, they may possess simpler tissues that have specialized functions for the internal transport of water. [citation needed] Non-vascular plants include two distantly related ...
