Hornworts are non-vascular plants that lack a vascular system and are typically found in moist environments worldwide, especially in tropical rainforests. They utilize rhizoids, which are hair-like projections, to absorb water and nutrients due to their inability to transport them through a vascular system. These plants commonly grow in damp, marshy areas.

1. What is the function in homworts? Where can one find homworts?
Solution
1)Hornworts are plants which are non- vascular that is they lack vascular system ( xylem,
phloem).
These plants are seen worldwide. They spread and grow in dumpy moist places. It's saprophytic
in nature.
Rhizoids are interlinked with hornworts. Rhizoids are hair like projections found on bryophutes
like hornworts, which are formed from a single cell. These are similar to root hairs.
As I mentioned earlier, hornworts lack vascular system ( which helps in transport of water and
nutrients to all parts if the plant body), so they need an alternative mechanism to intake water,
which is by using these rhizoids.
Hirnworts are usually found spread in marshy areas like weed. Most commonly found in tropical
rainforest regions.
