What are liverworts?

Answer Posted / anithaisro

Liverworts are small nonvascular plants, usually of moist
shady places. They produce spores, not seeds and lack true
roots, stems and leaves.

Liverworts are of about 8,000 species. They got their name
because some look like the human liver. Wort is an old name
for plant. They don't have a whole lot of uses. Sometimes
they are weeds. Some animals eat them and they may assist
in soil formation.
