Moss

Description:

Mosses are small flowerless plants that grow together densely. They can grow to be 1 cm - 10 cm tall commonly excluding the record breaking "Dawsonia" being 50 cm tall.

Habitat:

Moss commonly grows in damp and shady areas at any time of year commonly in natural ecosystems on the ground, trees, rocks, and such.

Notes:

Moss is a very special plant that is widely known for its diversity and uniqueness compared to other common plants. It is a producer being at the 2nd level of the trophic levels following the sun. In its food chain, it is followed by many herbivorous primary consumers like a deer and caterpillar. The moss gets the original energy from the process of photosynthesis using the sun, water, and carbon dioxide to make its own food and oxygen.
