Moss

Moss is mostly found in wet/moist environments generally in shady areas. 

Moss grow in moist environments because the Sperm in the moss needs to stay wet in order to survive. The sperm has to swim in the water to the egg as their form of reproduction. 

Moss grows in low areas because it has a better chance of absorbing the water from the ground in order to survive.
