True mosses

True mosses comprises small, non-vascular plants that typically thrive in moist, shaded areas. They are notable for their simple, leafy green structures and lack of conventional roots, relying instead on rhizoids for attachment. These plants play a crucial role in their ecosystems, aiding in soil formation and water retention.
