5. • Habitat

8. REPRODUCTION OF BRYOPHYTES
• Bryophytes reproduce by vegetative, sexual and asexual
modes of reproduction.
• The gametophyte reproduces sexually by formation of
gametes whereas the sporophyte reproduces by the
formation of spore therefore the mode of reproduction is
sexual
10. VEGETATIVE REPRODUCTION
• A piece that breaks off a gametophyte and the
lands in a suitable habitat will grow into a new gametophyte.
• The breakage may be accidental such as animal, trampling or
erosion leading to fragmentation of an existing bryophyte colony.
13. MASSACRE OF REFUGEES
