You’re not the only one! Depending on the book/paper you look at, the term is either used for the entire group or for mosses only. In the botany texts I have, the “bryophytes” or nonvascular plants are treated as three separate groups: 1. Division/phylum Bryophyta (mosses), 2. division/phylum Hepatophyta/Marchantiophyta (liverworts), and 3. division/phylum Anthocerotophyta (hornworts). That’s also how iNat treats them, and there is currently no iNat taxon equivalent to “bryophytes” (nonvascular plants) that contains all three phyla. In older books/papers, they may be all lumped together as phylum Bryophyta with mosses, liverworts, and hornworts being classes within that group.
