embryophytes
no vascular tissue
almost excusively terrestrial
cuticle over whole body
many have stoma
never grow very large
selectable advantages
thrive in microhabitats
reproductive cells
surrounded by
1+ layers of sterile cells
bodies
not composed of
filaments

alternation of
Heteromorphic generations
