Bryophytes are a group of plants that include mosses, liverworts, and hornworts. They are small, nonvascular plants, which lack leaves, stems, and true root systems. Instead, these plants have specialized structures called rhizoids, which help them anchor to many different substrates and surfaces. They absorb water and nutrients through diffusion and osmosis.
