Answer: Bryophytes

Step-by-step explanation:

The main difference between these are the environment that surrounds them.

Bryophytes typically or in wetlands, or amphibious areas. They could be anywhere in the world but usually trend to be in areas such as the Pacific Northwest. As said in the question, moss is a great example. Liverworts and hornworts are very similar. Plants in this group are non-vascular.

Pteridophytes are usually found in temperate forests or rain forests but can be found in cooler climates also. A well known example of this is ferns. The plants in this group are vascular, because the whole plant needs water to survive in that climate.

Gymnosperms are mostly located in colder areas of the north or south hemisphere but can be found throughout the world. They are usually found in deciduous or taiga forests. Plants like these include pines and conifers. These are also vascular plants.

Angiosperms are found everywhere, no area in particular where they are most common. These are flowering or food plants. This is the most common plant type, because 4 out of 5 plants are Angiosperms. These can range from grapes to roses and are also vascular.

Hope that helped a lot. Let me know any further questions.
