Today I learned that moss is in the plant kingdom and that it doesn't have any tubes. That is called nonvascular.
I think I found some moss in our backyard on the bottom of the porch cement by the grass. There was some moss in the grass, too. Moss gets water by absorbing water like a paper towel. If it dries out, it dies. We live in Tucson so moss is hard to find because it's dry and there's no water that stays around.
The grasses is always moist so that's why we found moss there.
This is a photo of some moss growing on the ground in a greenhouse near us. This place is always moist: Perfect for moss.
