The adaptive characters exhibited by Bryophytes or their survival on land, include all
except:
- A
Heterogram
- B
Absorption of CO2
- C
Lignin fortified tissues
- D
Conservation of water
- E
Formation of embryos
Bryophytes have only one set of chromosomes, lack lignin for support,
do not have tracheids, and lack true roots
These are the group of plants which are non- vascular. They are autotrophs.
the CO2 uptake by bryophytes is an important component of global carbon cycling
Bryophytes have only one set of chromosomes, lack lignin for support,
do not have tracheids, and lack true roots
bryophytes absorb water and dissolved minerals over the surface of the gametophore
In a great many bryophytes the tissue in the embryonic sporophyte differentiates. Typically there will be a foot that anchors the embryonic sporophyte to the supporting gametophyte, and at the end opposite the foot is the part that will develop into the spore capsule.
