Under what conditions can the most primitive plant form survive?
This is too poorly defined a question to be answered as is.
What exactly do you want to know?
What are the modern habitats of the living, modern
members of the earliest branch lineages of the [land]
plants? Bryophytes occupy a diverse range of envirionments,
but liverworts, etc. typically like it shady and moist.
or, what were the habitats of the early common ancestors of
all modern [land] plants like?
"Primitive" strictly should mean "retaining characteristics of
[some particular] common ancestor", and really would best be
examined feature by feature. None of the modern descendants
of the first embryophytes is likely to be much like their
Silurian ancestors.
