Moss and lichens are both small, non-vascular plants that grow in shaded areas. They are often found on trees, rocks, and historic structures.

Classification: Mosses are plants, while lichens are not. Mosses are part of the bryophyte group of non-vascular plants. Lichens are a symbiotic relationship between a fungus and an alga.

Structure: Mosses have leaves and stems, while lichens do not.
Water transport: Mosses don't have roots, so they can't transport water like other plants.

Photosynthesis: Mosses undergo photosynthesis directly, while lichens can only accomplish photosynthesis indirectly.

Mosses: Mosses reproduce by releasing spores from capsules.

Lichens: Lichens cannot be transplanted and must naturally colonize an area.

Air quality: Mosses, lichens, and algae are considered indicators of good air quality. They are sensitive to sulfur dioxide and are not usually found in industrial areas.
