Hornwort
Ceratophyllum demersum
Hornworts are small, ancient plants that grow in damp places like soil, rocks, or tree bark. They don't have roots but help enrich the soil where they live.
生息地: Wetlands
外見
The Hornwort is a small, flat plant, often appearing as a dark green, irregularly shaped patch clinging to moist soil or rocks. It distinguishes itself with slender, horn-like capsules (sporophytes) that grow upright from its base, releasing tiny spores.

Unlike most plants, each hornwort cell usually contains just one large, bowl-shaped chloroplast!
特殊能力
能力
Nitrogen Factory Friend
Hornwort can partner with tiny cyanobacteria living inside its body, which helps it capture vital nitrogen from the air for growth.
能力
Super Solar Panel
Hornwort has a single large chloroplast in each cell, unlike most plants, which efficiently captures sunlight for energy.
能力
Continuous Spore Dispenser
Hornwort can release its spores from a unique horn-shaped capsule that continuously grows, allowing it to spread offspring widely.
