Hornworts differ from liverworts in four key ways: hornworts typically have just one or two large chloroplasts in each cell instead of many, their chloroplasts can store carbon dioxide for photosynthesis unlike liverworts, they never have oil bodies in their cells unlike most liverworts, and hornwort sporangia continue producing and shedding new spores for a long time unlike liverwort sporangia that shed all spores within a few hours.

Q1/Difrenece between hornwort and liverwort

In spite of the fact that they appear to be like thalloid liverworts, hornworts vary in
four significant ways:

•Most hornworts trap daylight with just a couple of gigantic chloroplasts in every one
of their cells (liverworts have handfuls).

•Their chloroplasts can store carbon dioxide, a fundamental crude material for
photosynthesis (liverworts can't).

•They never have oil bodies in their cells (in any event 90% of liverworts have oil
bodies).

•Hornwort cases proceed to make and shed new spores for quite a long time (a
liverwort spore container ordinarily sheds every one of its spores inside a couple of
hours).
