Explore the differences between vascular seedless plants like ferns, and nonvascular seedless plants--also called bryophytes--like mosses and liverworts. Discover how seedless plants can help transform a barren, rocky wasteland into a lush green environment where many forms of life can grow. And learn why we have prehistoric seedless plants to thank for much of the energy that powers modern society!
