Introduction
Bryophytes are small and inconspicuous plants. They have no vascular tissue or wood to lend them structural support, nor do they have large leaves or showy cones or flowers. This does not mean that mosses are not important. Due to its phylogenetic position, we will study this group before the remaining plant groups.
