Marchantiophyta, commonly known as liverworts, are a group of non-vascular plants that belong to the division of bryophytes. They are typically found in moist environments, such as forests and wetlands, and play a crucial role in soil formation and stabilization. Liverworts can be recognized by their flat, leaf-like structures and can reproduce both sexually and asexually. These plants are divided into two main types: leafy liverworts and thallose liverworts. Leafy liverworts have small, leaf-like structures arranged around a stem, while thallose liverworts have a more flattened, ribbon-like appearance. Marchantiophyta contribute to biodiversity and are important indicators of environmental health.
