Why are bryophytes are called as amphibious plants?

Does bryophytes require water fertilization?
No, angiosperms do not need water to reproduce. Bryophytes, or mosses, need water to reproduce-the sperm cells swim to the egg by following a trail of chemicals in the water. Thus, mosses reproduce in wet, rainy seasons of the year. Angiosperms, on the other hand, do not require water because the stamen releases male gametophytes, pollen grains, that are carried by the wind to the egg in the carpel.

Do angiosperms require water for fertilization?
Yes Edited answer: No, only crptogames need water for fertilization. In higher plants like angiosperms, the gametes are non-motile and male gametes reach near the egg for fertilization with the help of pollen tube.
Are mosses vascular or nonvascular?
Mosses are non-vascular because they have no vascular tissue inside of them. That is why mosses need to live near moist areas so they can absorb the water directly because they don't have long roots to absorb the water.
