Botanically, mosses are bryophytes, or non-vascular plants. They can be distinguished from the apparently similar liverworts (Merchantiophyta or Hepaticae) by their multi-cellular rhizoids. Other differences are not universal for all mosses and all liverworts, but the presence of clearly differentiated "stem" and "leaves", the lack of deeply lobed or segmented leaves, and the absence of leaves arranged in three ranks, all point to the plant being a moss. They both are considered, by botanists, to be bryophytes.
