Food is transported through these organisms by means of the leptome, which consists of cells surrounded by water-conducting hydroid cells.
Food is transported through these organisms by means of the leptome, which consists of cells surrounded by water-conducting hydroid cells. The largest organism of this type is the Dawsonia superba which can grow to 20 inches tall, unusual for these organisms because they only grow when hydrated. They aren't ferns, but these organisms rely on spores rather than flowers to reproduce. They are classified, along with liverworts and hornworts, into a division of plants that lack vascular systems. For 10 points, name these small plants which often grow in clumps on tree bark and rocks and are classified as bryophytes.
