The strategy of poikilohydry was almost certainly primitive and evolved from the production of desiccation-tolerant spores (Oliver et al. 2000). Organisms employing poikilohydry are confined to a small overall size, in particular because of the limitations to water transport that relies on capillarity (Proctor and Tuba 2002).
text: Their small size and ability to adhere to solid substrates allows mosses to occupy habitats where poikilohydry provides a unique advantage, but these characteristics set limits on their distribution to specific types of environments where tracheophytes are unable to dominate.
