Why bryophytes are called amphibians of the plant kingdom?

Bryophytes are often referred to as the amphibians of the plant kingdom because they thrive in moist environments and require water for reproduction. Like amphibians, which live both in water and on land, bryophytes are adapted to life on land but remain closely tied to water for their reproductive processes, such as sperm motility. Additionally, they possess structures that allow them to absorb water and nutrients directly from their surroundings, similar to how amphibians can absorb moisture through their skin.
