What does MOSS mean in Scrabble?
noun
A small green or yellowish plant that grows in low, dense clumps on damp soil, rocks, tree trunks, or other moist surfaces, without flowers or true roots.
Moss belongs to a group of simple plants that lack the internal tissue found in most other plants, so it takes in moisture and nutrients directly through its leaf-like surfaces. Because of this it thrives in shaded, damp places where larger plants often struggle.
How MOSS is used
