Among the listed plants above, the one that we can expect to grow lowest to the ground would be the hornworts. Hornworts are non-vascular plants which can be found both on water and land. Since these plants do not have a vascular system, it is hard for them to move water internally due to the force of gravity which explains why they cannot grow more above the ground.
