Water is necessary for movement of sperm.
💡 Explanation:
Sexual reproduction involves the mixing of genes from two different parents to give offspring with a genetic make-up similar to, but different from, each parent. In Bryophytes the process requires the production of male gametes (sperm), female gametes (eggs) and some means of getting the sperm to the eggs. The gametes are produced on the gametophytes. Water is essential for sexual reproduction in Bryophytes, since it is water that carries the sperm to the egg.
