Acronia Radula

Common liverwort, scientifically known as Acronia radula, is a small, non-vascular plant that thrives in moist, shaded environments. It belongs to the family Porellaceae and is commonly found in damp soil or on rocks in temperate regions. This primitive plant lacks true roots, stems, and leaves, instead having a thalloid structure that absorbs nutrients directly from its surroundings. Acronia radula plays a vital role in ecological systems by contributing to soil stability and providing habitat for microorganisms. Its simple yet resilient form makes it an important subject in the study of early plant evolution.
