Moss

So lets talk a bit about Moss. Mosses are group of fuzzy plants that belong to the division Bryophyta. There are around 12 000 species of moss that can be found throughout the world. Moss can survive in different habitats but it usually prefers shady areas of woodlands and forests that provide enough water. Moss can grow both on the trees and on the ground, but it can be also found on the rocks and under the water. Now that you know a bit about moss lets go in futher.

                                  

                                                                           Moss     

Mosses are tiny plants. Most mosses can reach 0.4 to 4 inches in height the largest species are 20 inches tall. Mosses are usually bright green in color. Some species can be pale green (almost white), bluish-green, yellowish-green or velvety black green. Mosses were the first plants that managed to survive on the solid ground. They evolved from algae.

Algae.

Mosses can grow only in clean environments. Mosses can survive for weeks without water then soak it up like a sponge when it rains. Moss can grow in temperatures just above zero degrees. Reindeers eat moss because it contains a chemical that keeps their blood warm. Much like the anti-freeze in your car.

                                        I hope you all learnt a bit more about moss. See you next time

                                                                                      BYE!

                                             

The Plant Kingdom!

So you might think plants just grow in your garden and that they are absolutely useless, let me tell you something now, there a whole lot more important than that. Without plants you wouldn't be alive. Humans and animals need oxygen to survive but oxygen is emitted by plants through photosynthesis, (how plants make there food) some plants, however, are carnivores, they trap insects and eat them! So from here let me introduce you to the Plant Kingdom.





                                                                  Plant Kingdom

Plants are found in a diverse range of habitats such as on land, in oceans, and in fresh water. They have been on Earth for millions of years far longer than us humans and there are around 260,000 species, most of this number are flowering herbs. The scientific name is Plantae. We cant make food nevertheless plants can. The Kingdom plantae is also called as kingdom Metaphyta. Plants are an important source of medicine.
