Complete the following paragraph to describe the characteristics of liverworts and mosses. antheridia protonema rhizoids sexual gemmae roots archegonia fragmentation asexual 1999 binary fission gemmules thalli Reset Help Liverworts and mosses are examples of nonvascular plants. Liverworts such as Marchantia have a smooth upper surface, and a lower surface with that project into the soil. The smooth upper surface of the thallus of a liverwort contains groups of cells called cups that can produce new plant organisms asexually. During sexual reproduction in liverworts, flagellated sperm are produced by and eggs are produced by After fertilization, small sporophytes produce windblown spores. Typically, mosses can reproduce asexually by almost every part of the moss plant to produce During the life cycle of a moss, a its structure. This process allows will produce upright leafy thalli along The thalli of a moss produce antheridia and archegonia, which are involved in reproduction.
