Goals

• Being able to identify the most common forest mosses, lichens, pteridophytes, herbaceous plants and sprigs.
• Knowing the differences between mosses, lichens, pteridophytes and seed plants.

Summary

• Lichens consist of two parts: a fungal part and an algal part.
• Mosses and lichens have no roots or conductive tissue.
• Mosses reproduce via spores.
• Pteridophytes have conductive tissues and roots. They have no flowers, and they reproduce via spores.
• Herbaceous plants and sprigs are seed plants.
