The term 'bryophyte' describes plants of three closely related lineages: the mosses, liverworts, and hornworts. Ancient in their makeup, bryophytes disperse by spores rather than seeds and grow no more than a few centimetres high, carpeting forest floors or clinging to rocks and tree trunks. Instead of conducting fluids internally (like vascular plants), they absorb water and nutrients externally across the whole body of the plant. Such strategies have enabled bryophytes to survive, and indeed thrive, through the millennia.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eMosses, Liverworts, and Hornworts of the World\u003c\/i\u003e makes sense of their miniature world, differentiating between the three lineages and delving into their evolution, anatomy, and life cycles.
