What are Bryophytes
Bryohytes are a division of non-vascular land plants, which are classified under kingdom of Plantae. They are spore-producing plants in which the gametophyte stage is dominant in the life cycle. Bryophytes are not seed-producing or flowering plants. They are mostly autotrophs. Some bryophytes like liverworts do not contain chlorophyll; hence, they rely on a fungal partner for food. Bryophytes grow in moist shady places, producing phenolic compounds which deter herbivores.
