Abstract

Bryophytes include the mosses, liverworts, and hornworts. Bryophytes are the simplest of plants (excluding the algae, which are
not considered plants by most botanists) and and bryology is the study of bryophytes. While there are marked differences between
groups of organisms, they are related closely enough to warrant a single term that includes all three. So a moss is a bryophyte, a liverwort is a bryophyte and a hornwort is a bryophyte. Bryophytes are small, seldom exceeding 6 and usually much smaller.
