A Correct answer
Explanation

Amphibians are those organisms which live on both land and in water. Bryophytes are called amphibians of the plant kingdom because these plants, though living in soil, need water for sexual reproduction. The sperms of bryophyte (antherozoids) are flagellate and need water to swim to the eggs. In other words, as these plants need water for reproduction unlike other plants, they are called as amphibians.
