Examples
- The Marchantiiales are a group of liverworts that have a unique characteristic of having their gametophyte differentiated internally into distinct tissues.
- In the Marchantiiales, the gametophyte is differentiated into an upper photosynthetic layer and a lower storage layer.
- The Marchantiiales are often found growing in damp environments, where their ability to differentiate their gametophyte internally allows them to thrive.
- The Marchantiiales are a diverse group of liverworts, with over 100 species identified, all of which share the characteristic of internal gametophyte differentiation.
- The internal differentiation of the gametophyte in Marchantiiales allows for more efficient photosynthesis and nutrient storage, giving them a competitive advantage over other liverworts.
