ANSWER:

Sphagnum is not a kind of conifer. Sphagnum is a moss and is basically a genus of 380 different species of mosses.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • It is commonly known as peat moss. These mosses can store a large quantity of water in them and therefore provide habitat for a wide array of peat-land plants.
  • It does not decay readily and can also acidify the environment.
  • The moss has a main stem with a cluster of branches that may be hanging or spread across.
