Flowerless & Seedless Plants

Seedless and flowerless plants require moist environments to grow and reproduce by spores

Mosses and Liverworts

Mosses and Liverworts are small plants that have spores instead of flowers and seeds. Mosses and liverworts are important as they act like a giant sponge, soaking up water and slowing the flow of rain into rivers. Mosses and liverworts like wet or damp areas like forest floors, wet heaths or anywhere that is moist.

Fungi and Lichen

Fungi and Lichen include many more organisms than that could simply be called a mushroom or toadstool. They is a vast range of different forms that exist such as brackets, puffballs, clubs and lichens, which are living in a partnership with fungus and alga. There are over 4,000 species of larger fungi recorder in Britain. Most of these are see as a fruiting body's in the autumn.

Seaweed

Seaweed is a seedless and flowerless but is it a plant? They lack the vascular system (the internal nutrition transport system of many land plants) and do not have roots, stems, leaves and flowers. So it is nether a plant or animal but a Algae. They use pigment chlorphyll for photosynthsis which may be coloured red, blue, brown or gold.
