Ricciaceae

Ricciaceae comprises small, non-vascular liverworts, noticeable for their bright green, flat thallose bodies that hug the ground closely in moist, shaded areas. Ricciaceae possesses a simple structure with no true roots, instead using hair-like rhizoids for anchorage and water absorption, adapting ingeniously to its typically damp environments.
