I can try

anonymous · Answer

Okay... I have to find out the  the genus and species name, the common name, and the phylum name. 
3.For each plant example provide a small description of the plant, the reason why this plant fits under your chosen division, and the adaptations the plant uses to survive on land.

I'm trying a reverse image search, and I'm not finding the species

anonymous · Answer

So the name of it is Liverwart?

anonymous · Answer

The type of plant is a liverwart, which is a Bryophyte

anonymous · Answer

*wort

anonymous · Answer

But that's not the species, that would be some odd latin name

anonymous · Answer

I don't think it's Marchantia

anonymous · Answer

And what category does Bryophyte fit in?

petiteme · Answer

I think it's Liverworts

anonymous · Answer

What is the genus?

nincompoop · Answer

if you were told that it is a non-vascular plant, you can still create or even make a distinction of its taxonomic lineage based on phenotypes observed (physical characteristics)

petiteme · Answer

Phylum Hepatophyta or Marchantiophyta or Jungermanniophyta

nincompoop · Answer

if you look at the leaves, what do you observe?

anonymous · Answer

thanks for crashing open study :D

petiteme · Answer

I think it's Marchantia though :(

anonymous · Answer

so was I right?

anonymous · Answer

As for the reasoning on why it fits into that genus, you can talk about traits of the genus and species which differentiates it from other liveworts

anonymous · Answer

As well as the characteristics which make it a liverwort, of course

anonymous · Answer

What?

nincompoop · Answer

you're welcome

anonymous · Answer

What is that the genus to the plant or no?

anonymous · Answer

First describe what makes a liverwort unique (how it reproduces, what non-vasualar means, etc.)  Then describe characteristics the species has compared to other liverworts (small/big leaves, etc).
