Most of us have seen moss growing in a soft, green carpet at the base of a tree in the woods. Like ferns, mosses can grow all over the world, but they thrive in damp, shady areas. Both plants require moisture to reproduce-during the reproductive stage, the male sex cells need water to swim to the female sex cells so they can fuse and create new plants. Most mosses are small, but one tropical species can grow to heights of 27 inches
Moss- is a small flowerless green plant that lacks true roots, growing in low carpets or rounded cushions in damp habitats and reproducing by means of spores released from stalked capsules |
