• Moss uses ‘anchors’ to cling to surfaces called rhizoids they are not proper roots or part of a vascular system
• Moss can stop/ start growth during times of drought or flood stress
• Moss spreads via spores blown in the wind
• Spores develop both male & female reproductive organs that need moisture to mix together
