Mis forMoss

Scientific name: division: bryophyta

Mosses are tiny plants, usually around a centimeter tall. They grow in damp, shady places in clumps, so they often form large green mats. Mosses don't have flowers or seeds. Instead, they grow spores just like mushrooms and ferns do. The picture is taken very close up of some moss that is barely 1cm tall. You can clearly see the spore pods sticking up from the moss.
