What is the meseophyte?
"Bryophyte" is an informal grouping of all non -accurate plants of land (embryophytes). Nev feathers means that the plant lacks vascular tissue, ie channels for distributing fluids and nutrients into its tissues. Due to the lack of vascular tissue, the mesteofs are relatively short, not more than about 10 cm (4 inches) high. Melophytes include Hornworts (Anthocerotophyta), Liverworts (Marchantiophyta) and Mosses (Bryophyta).
Historically, all of these groups were considered part of Bryophyte, and until closer analysis found that Hornworts and Liverworts were different from mosses and each other to place their own divisions. Green algae developed mesheofs and reproduced spores, which required considerable humidity for their scattering. The evidence comes in the form of fossilized vacuums mined from the growl in Oman. As liyophytes are fragile plants, not fossilized and early fossil record is rare. Mezophytes were probably some of the first life forms on Earth, along with licheníky, which consist of symbiosis between sponge and algae. The first extensive earthly biota, which dates back to the early Silurian period, about 440 million years ago, is forests for meophytes found along lakes and streams. Evidence of molecular genetics even suggests that gaps existed as land plants up to 700 million years ago, during the cryogenic period.
Early mesheophytes occur with the first land arthropods in fossil records, simple organisms similar to spiders and Millipede. Land molluscs are likely to develop during this period, although the fossil record is thin. In the late Silurian, about 425 million years ago, the first definitive vascular plants also appear in the fossil record, the standard example is Cooksonia .
Today, mosses are popular for aesthetic purposes and in the horticulture, while the liverworts and corners are not. All the merophytesThey require considerable humidity to survive. A pleasant association, which has many people with moss, can result from evolutionary psychology - historical correlation between its presence and sufficient sweet water for drinking. In the past, due to highly absorbent and slightly antibacterial properties of moss, it was used as a first aid bandage for soldiers' wounds. Wet Moss was also used in rural Great Britain to fight fires.
