**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Moss Plants**: Moss plants belong to the group called bryophytes, which are non-vascular plants. They are typically found in moist environments and have specific requirements for their life cycle. 2. **Requirement for Water in Fertilization**: The first reason moss plants cannot complete their life cycle in a dry environment is that they require water for fertilization. Mosses produce sperm that are flagellated, meaning they can swim. These sperm need a film of water to move and reach the egg for fertilization to occur. In the absence of water, the sperm cannot swim, and fertilization cannot take place. 3. **Germination of Spores**: The second reason is related to the germination of spores. Moss spores are sensitive to moisture and require a moist environment to germinate. If the environment is too dry, the spores will not be able to absorb enough water to begin the germination process, preventing the development of new moss plants. ...
