Why is Bryophyta in plant kingdom called amphibian plant?

Bryophytes are called amphibians of the plant kingdom because they need water for reproduction but can also live on land. Bryophytes are small, non-vascular plants such as mosses and liverworts. They are found in moist and shady places because they lack true roots and vascular tissues.

Reasons They are Amphibians

• They grow on land but require water for fertilization.
• Sperm cells swim through water to reach eggs.
• They represent a transition from aquatic to terrestrial life.

Examples

• Mosses
• Liverworts
• Hornworts
