Moss (National Museum of Natural Science)Type Collection Collection Identifier c0315 Description Moss, to the average person, is a common yet alien group of plants. Compared with flowering seed plants and non-flowering ferns, the composition of bryophytes is relatively primitive and simple, without vascular transmission tissues. Transmitting functions are carried out by the skin and a central axis. Bryophytes are therefore mostly very short and slender, with only very few species able to grow taller and thicker. Strictly speaking, bryophytes do not possess actual roots, stems and leaves. Their basic structures are composed of rhizoids, stem-like branches and imitated leaves. From the perspective of botanical evolution, biologists and botanists generally maintain that bryophytes are among the most primitive of embryophytes.
