Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that bryophytes are non-vascular plants, meaning they do not have the vascular tissue (xylem and phloem) that most plants use to transport water and nutrients.
Recognize that bryophytes are typically found in moist environments because they rely on diffusion for water and nutrient transport.
Identify the three main groups of bryophytes: mosses, liverworts, and hornworts. These groups are characterized by their simple structure and life cycle, which includes a dominant gametophyte stage.
Differentiate bryophytes from other plant groups mentioned in the options: cycads, ginkgos, and angiosperms are seed plants; algae, fungi, and lichens are not classified as plants; ferns, conifers, and flowering plants are vascular plants.
Conclude that the correct answer is mosses, liverworts, and hornworts, as they are the only group that fits the definition of bryophytes.
