Bryophytes are often called amphibian plants because they are found both in water and on land. Option 1, that they appear like frogs, is incorrect as bryophytes do not resemble frogs in any way. Option 3, stating that bryophytes do not have a habitat preference, is also incorrect as they prefer damp environments. Option 4, suggesting that bryophytes can eat insects, is not true as bryophytes do not have the ability to consume insects. Bryophytes, which include mosses, liverworts, and hornworts, have a unique life cycle that requires them to have access to water for reproduction. They reproduce by releasing spores that need water to swim to the female reproductive organs. However, they can also survive on land by absorbing water and nutrients through their small root-like structures called rhizoids. Hence, bryophytes are referred to as amphibian plants due to their ability to thrive in both aquatic and terrestrial environments.
