Detailed Solution

Sphagnum is used as a packing material for transshipment of living materials. Sphagnum grows in acidic bogs where the dead plant cannot be decomposed due to acidic conditions. As a result, the carbon gets fossilized and is known as peat. This peat is used as a source of fuel and also as packing material for transshipment of living materials due to its high water retention capacity.
