Hornworts are a group of non-vascular plants that belong to the division Anthocerotophyta.

Hornworts are small, terrestrial plants that grow in damp environments, resembling tiny horns or liverworts.

They are found in tropical, subtropical, and temperate regions, typically in moist, shaded areas.

Hornworts are small, ranging from 1-10 cm in height.

They have a flat, thallus-like body with a horn-like structure (sporophyte) emerging from it.

Hornworts reproduce via spores, with the sporophyte producing spores for dispersal.

Hornworts have a unique feature called a "meristematic zone", where new cells are produced.

Hornworts have distinctive, spiral-shaped chloroplasts in their cells.

They obtain nutrients through photosynthesis and by absorbing nutrients from the environment.

Hornworts are considered one of the earliest diverging groups of land plants, providing insights into plant evolution.
