Do mosses and Ferns grow in dry?

Mosses typically thrive in moist environments, as they require water for reproduction and to maintain hydration. However, some moss species can tolerate dry conditions for short periods by becoming dormant. Ferns, on the other hand, generally prefer humid, shaded habitats and do not grow well in dry environments. Both types of plants are more commonly found in damp, shaded areas rather than arid conditions.
