  1. 2. Leaflike structure of a moss which is one layer thick and has a costa. Essentially, a non-vascular leaf.
  2. 4. Thread-like structures that attach gametophore to the ground.
  3. 9. In leafy liverworts, a tubular sheath surrounding an archegonium, and later, the developing sporophyte.
  4. 10. Part of the sporophyte that acts as a stalk to hold other parts of the sporophyte above the boundary layer.
  5. 11. A thread-like chain of cells that forms the earliest stage (the haploid phase) of the life cycle of mosses and liverworts.
  6. 13. Enlarged archegonial venter that protects the capsule that contains the embryonic sporophyte.
  7. 14. Leaves that form in a row on the undersurface of the stem of a leafy liverwort. They are smaller than the leaves on the upper surface.
Down
  1. 1. Lack of an ability to regulate and maintain water content.
  2. 3. Basal portion of an embryo, sporophyte, or spore-producing body, which is embedded in the parental tissue. It serves as an anchor and to absorb nutrients.
  3. 5. Adjective used to describe clear cells, found in hinge tissue.
  4. 6. Tough substance that covers the outer wall of spores and pollen grains.
  5. 7. The swollen lower portion of an archegonium containing the egg.
  6. 8. Small mass of vegetative tissue that can develop into an entire new plant. Part of non vascular plant asexual reproduction.
  7. 12. Type of plant body that is not differentiated into root, stem, or leaves.
