Characters of Bryophyta:

• These are found on both land and water, therefore they are known as amphibians of the plant kingdom.
• The plant body is commonly differentiated to form stem and leaf-like structures.
• These plants do not have specialized tissue for the conduction of water and other substances from one part of the plant body to another.
• The main plant body of the bryophyte is haploid. It produces gametes, hence it is called a gametophyte.

Examples: Moss (Funaria) and Marchantia.
