2. It is hygroscopic
3. It is hydrophobic

Which of the following is true regarding the classes of Bryophytes?
| 1. | The thallus of mosses is dorsiventral and closely appressed to the surface |
| 2. | In the life cycle of liverworts, the predominant gametophytic stage is divided into two stages - the protonema and the leafy stage |
| 3. | The sporophyte in liverworts is more elaborate than in mosses |
| 4. | Asexual reproduction in liverworts takes place by fragmentation of thalli, or by the formation of specialised structures called gemmae |
