Anthocerotophyta
Hornworts are a group of non-vascular Embryophytes (land plants) constituting the division Anthocerotophyta (). The common name refers to the elongated horn-like structure, which is the sporophyte. As in mosses and liverworts, hornworts have a gametophyte-dominant life cycle, in which cells of the plant carry only a single set of genetic information; the flattened, green plant body of a hornwort is the gametophyte stage of the plant.
Anthocerotaceae
The Anthocerotaceae is the only family of hornworts in the order Anthocerotales. Anthocerotaceae is characterized by irregular or dichotomous lobing or branching, and a gametophyte lacking distinct pores.
