Its neather alive nor dead... :-)
It appears to recycle itself...
Have alook here and ask this lady the
question...http://www.botanik.univie.ac.at/pershome/temsch/b asics.html
* An intact peat moss plant is partly alive and partly dead. Its top
part is alive; growth occurs exclusively at the plant's head. The
bottom part of the plant has died from lack of light, and is
already partially decayed. This unusual feature can be explained
by the fact that peat mosses have neither roots nor a true
vascular system of fluid transportation; nutrition of the living
part of the plant is independent of its dead bottom section.
* Only the topmost few centimeters of the plant are above the
water table. Further down, stem and leaves retain vast amounts of
water, thus actively raising the water table. This extraordinary
capacity of peat moss to raise the water table by trapping
rainwater in spaces between stems and leaves is one of the
prerequisites of bog formation. No bog can exist without peat moss!
