Nonvascular Plants (Embryophytes (Nonvascular plants (Also called…

- - - - Species with hydroid cells usually also have leptoids
        
        Leptoids are the great value brand of sieve cells
    - - Rhizoids pierce into the substrate and anchor the moss into the ground, but doesn't absorb water or minerals, due to absence of chloroplasts
  - - - The foot absorbs water and minerals via the gametophore stems
        
        Another structure, called the capsule, is produced, which is a bunch of sterile cells surrounded by more sterile cells
        
        More generally identified as a simple apical sporangium
        
        Between the sporangium and the foot is a narrow stalk called the seta
        
        Has stomata at its base
        
        Has a lid, called the operculum, that separates from the rest of the sporangium when the cells tear apart
        
        Cells tearing apart result in highly complex, teeth-like structures called peristome teeth
        
        The book goes as far to call them beautiful
        
        The top of the sporangium is covered by a calyptra in some species
        
        The calyptra is a layer of cells derived from the archegonium, which is the vase that contained the original egg cell
- - - - Moss-like with leaves
    - - Less resemblance to mosses
      - Shape is described as a thallus
        
        A thallus is defined as a body without roots, stems, or leaves
      - Ribbon-like or heart-shaped
