Although non-vascular plants lack the vascular tissues, a number of non-vascular plants possess tissues specialized for internal transport of water. Non-vascular plants have no roots, stems, or leaves, since each of these structures is defined by containing vascular tissue. The lobes (rounded parts) of the liverwort may look like leaves, but they are not true leaves because they have no xylem or phloem. Likewise, mosses and algae have no such tissues. All plants have a life cycle with an alternation of generations between a diploid sporophyte and a haploid gametophyte, but nonvascular plants include the only plants that have a dominant gametophyte generation. In these plants, the sporophytes grow attached and are dependent on gametophytes for taking in water and other materials. I am studying non-vascular plants in my class. I hope that this helps!

Nonvascular plants do not have a system of tubes to move water and minerals throughout it. these plants are usually plants completely submerged in water.
tubes
The earth is 3/4 water and nonvascular plants can take, and have taken advantage of this watery niche.
The scientific name for nonvascular plants is Bryophyta. These plants do not have specialized tissues for transporting water and nutrients, and they include mosses, liverworts, and hornworts.
ricca and marchantia are two plants without tubes they are also non-vascular
Nonvascular plants lack the complex vascular system found in vascular plants, making it challenging to transport water and nutrients. To prevent drying out, nonvascular plants have evolved adaptations like growing in damp environments, having a small size to reduce water loss, and absorbing water directly through their cells. These adaptations help nonvascular plants survive in their habitats despite their limited ability to transport water and nutrients.
Nonvascular plants have stems
There are more vascular plants than nonvascular plants in the world. Vascular plants have specialized tissues that efficiently transport water and nutrients throughout the plant, enabling them to grow larger and in a wider range of habitats compared to nonvascular plants. Vascular plants include ferns, flowering plants, and conifers, while nonvascular plants include mosses and liverworts.
Water passes through a nonvascular plant primarily through diffusion. Nonvascular plants lack specialized tissues like xylem and phloem for water transport, so water moves slowly through their cells by osmosis and diffusion. This method of water transport is not as efficient as in vascular plants.
Plants that do not have a system of tubes for transporting water and nutrients are called non-vascular plants. These plants rely on osmosis and diffusion for internal transport of materials. Some examples include mosses, liverworts, and hornworts.
Nonvascular plants, such as mosses and liverworts, do not produce sperm. They rely on water for the movement of their sperm cells to reach the egg for fertilization.
Nonvascular plants lack the specialized tissues that allow vascular plants to transport water and nutrients efficiently throughout their structures. This limits their ability to grow taller than vascular plants and to thrive in a wider range of environments. Additionally, nonvascular plants rely heavily on moisture for reproduction, which constrains their habitat options compared to vascular plants.
