Bryophytes — non-vascular plants, that include mosses, hornworts, and liverworts. They are cryptogams (spore-plants). The study of Bryophytes is named bryology
[11] [12] With the exception of the ancient group Takakiopsida, no known mosses form mycorrhiza, [13] but bryophilous fungi is widespread in moss and other bryophytes, where they live as saprotrophs, parasites, pathogens and mutualists, some of them endophytes. [14] Mosses differ from vascular plants in lacking water-bearing xylem tracheids or ...

The non-vascular land plants, namely the mosses (Bryophyta), hornworts (Anthocerotophyta), and liverworts (Marchantiophyta), are relatively small plants, often confined to environments that are humid or at least seasonally moist.
