1.	A) What do you mean by monoecious plant ?B) Why are bryophytes called amphibians of plant kingdoms ?
Answer» Bryophyta can live on both land and water \tMonoecious is a condition where a single plant produces both male and female flowers which are helpful in fertilisation process. Coconut palm produces both male and female flowers in a single individual.\tAmphibians are those organisms which live on both land and in water. Bryophytes are called amphibians of the plant kingdom because these plants though live in soil but they need water for sexual reproduction. The sperm of bryophyte (antherozoids) are flagellate and need water to swim to the eggs. In other words, as these plants need water for reproduction unlike other plants, they are called as amphibians.\xa0
