Is moss German or Irish

True moss is one of the few truly global plants. Mosses reproduce by spores and therefore are not as evolved as seed plants. Their spores are so tiny they rise up into the outer atmosphere traveling around the globe until they set down somewhere else on Earth. So a spore that originates in New England could land in South Africa or Japan.

There are other plants known as moss that aren't true mosses but a more advanced seed plant that resembles a moss. Irish moss, Sagina subulata is among the most widely planted in gardens. It is sold in flats that you can cut like a sheet cake into pieces used and used to create all sorts of unique effects.
