Content: While we may think of mosses as small, forgettable plants, they actually serve several vital roles. For example, peat moss can be used as a fuel, carbon sink, and habitat for many unique organisms. You may also see moss used in flower arrangements or hanging flower baskets. Mosses are also useful to many ecosystems because they can survive in very high or low temperatures and can even help make soil. As for the life cycle of these plants, mosses are unique because they spend most of their lives with only one set of genetic material rather than the normal two sets. This would be like living the majority of your life cycle with only half of your genetic information. {"error":true,"iframe":true}
