      Answer:

      Amphibians are organisms that are adapted to living both on land and in water. That’s exactly what bryophytes do, too! They’re able to photosynthesize with chloroplasts located in cells called chlorophyllous tissue and live their reproductive phase out in the open air. Bryophytes and amphibians share a lot of similarities not just because they can live both on land & in water, but also because the name “amphibian” originates from an ancient Greek word meaning “to turn two ways.” This same derivation is used for the word bryophilous (derived from bryophytes). It means liking or preferring wet habitats such as marshes or bogs.

      Bryophytes generally reproduce using tiny spores called sporophytes. Most species of bryophytes do so via spore-less reproduction such as budding or vegetative reproduction . The reproductive stage of the bryophyte lifecycle can be found in many different environments such as beaches, lakes & forests. You’re probably wondering: What does an aquatic plant have to do with amphibians ? Amphibians and bryophytes may not share much in common, but they both have the ability to reproduce via sporophytes & are mainly found in water or humid soil. So, both can be called “aquatic plants”!
