I remembered when I was really small, I see my parents and grandma scrape mosses off walls and floors. Then, today, Star Online came up with such an attention grabbing topic: "Expert: Moss plays important role in flood prevention". Don't ever look down on mosses anymore! Certain species can absorb a lot of water so that erosion does not occur easily. These are not limited to those on the ground. Consider the ones growing on trees. Seems like mother nature never fails to amaze.
Besides this, certain moss species can prevent cancer and bacteria. At the end of the article, I learned that Australia and America use mosses for horticulture and fuel (?), more often than not, over-harvest the natural ones in the jungle.
