Liverworts

Liverworts are a group of non-vascular plants similar to mosses. Liverworts are separated into leafy and thalloid liverworts. Leafy liverworts are the simplest species and have just a single layer of cells in their leaves. Thalloid liverworts are more complex. Their green tissue is several layers thick and known as a thallus.
