Bryophytes
|
Bryophyte is a botanical term which refers to any member of the following divisions of the Plantae kingdom:
Bryophyta (mosses) Anthocerophyta (hornworts) Hepatophyta (iverworts)
Despite the similarity in name, a bryophyte does not exclusively imply a species of the division bryophyta. The confusion arises because hornworts and liverworts were formerly regarded as members of the bryophyta division.
