Difference between revisions of "Moss"

''Moss'' is one of the few forms of plant life occurring naturally in [[Westarctica]]. It is a small flowerless plant that typically grows in dense green clumps or mats. The individual plants are usually composed of simple leaves that are generally only one cell thick, attached to a stem that may be branched or unbranched and has only a limited role in conducting water and nutrients. Although some species have conducting tissues, these are generally poorly developed and structurally different from similar tissue found in vascular plants. Mosses do not have seeds and after fertilization develop sporophytes with unbranched stalks topped with single capsules containing spores.
