Answer 1

Correct option is (d) Bryophytes don’t absorb water and are used to pack food materials

Easy explanation: Bryophytes hold soil firmly and therefore prevent soil erosion. Bryophytes decompose barren rocks and make soil fertile. Bryophytes are used as packing materials and as good fuel. Bryophytes are good absorbers of water and can’t be used for packing of food materials.
