What are the roles of peat moss1

Peat moss is born in swamps, or depressions under rock walls and grasses where there is often dripping water. Often large swamps are formed as a result of the growth of this species.

The peat moss plant can absorb 20-25 times its own weight in water, and its overgrowth in forested areas often leads to the destruction of forests.
