Introduction
Mosses are a taxonomic group of tiny, non-vascular, flowerless plants. The parent group bryophytes, which includes hornworts, mosses, and liverworts, is also referred to as bryophyta. In wet or shaded areas, mosses frequently develop dense, green mats or clumps. The basic leaves on individual plants are typically only one cell thick, linked to a stem that may or may not have branches, and play a very limited role in transporting water and nutrients.
