environments and are only a few cells thick, so they are able to absorb water
and nutrients from it directly through their cell walls. Vascular plants are more
complex and are thick, so they need vessels to get their water and nutrients.
If you want to know more about it, go to the library and get the science
textbook "Life Science" a Glencoe book written by: Lucy Daniel, Ed Ortleb, and
Alton Biggs. But there were many contributing writers who where
named: Linda Barr, Dan Blaustein, Pam Bliss, Mary Dylewski, Helen Frensch,
Steve Glazer, Rebecca Johnson, Devi Mathieu, Nancy Ross-Flanigan, and Patricia
West.

Are there more vascular or nonvascular plants in the world?
There are more vascular plants because vascular means that the plant has cells and tissues to transport nutrients and water and there are more plants that have these qualities.
What is the structures of nonvascular plant?
Nonvascular plants such as liverworts and mosses don't have this kind of tissue. Without lignified vascular tissue, this liverwort cannot transport nutrients or water from its rhizoids to other cells that are more than a few millimeters away.
Do vascular plants have xylem and phloem?
Yes, but some plants lack certain types of xylem and phloem cells such as vessel elements and tracheids. Tracheids have been lost in Wolffia, an aquatic plant, and vessels are not present in all conifers.
Where are the nutrients stored in a plant?
Plants store nutrients inside of their cells. They store nutrients so that they can use them later when nutrients are less plentiful.
How does oxygen get from the blood to the cells in the tissue?
Oxygen and nutrients reach cells within tissues via the bloodstream. Blood is also responsible for transporting waste away from the cells.
Do nonvascular plants absorb water and nutrients?
Yes, Nonvascular Plants do not have vessels. Nonvascular plants are found in damp environments and are only a few cells thick, so they are able to absorb water and nutrients from it directly through their cell walls. Vascular plants are more complex and are thick, so they need vessels to get their water and nutrients. See related question
How do the cells of nonvascular plants get the nutrients they need?
By diffusion of the nutrients through the cell walls and membranes.
What does nonvascular plants need to transport water and nutrients?

Difference between vascular and nonvascular plants?
Nonvascular plants lack lignin-impregnated conducting cells. They also lack an extensive transport system.
What is the structures of nonvascular plant?
Nonvascular plants such as liverworts and mosses don't have this kind of tissue. Without lignified vascular tissue, this liverwort cannot transport nutrients or water from its rhizoids to other cells that are more than a few millimeters away.
Why is soil useful for living things?
It provides nutrients and minerals for plants, which is carried up from the root of the plant to it's leaves by the xylem vessels pronounced (Zy.lum) Xylem vessels are long tubes in the plants cells!
Where do epidermal cells get their nutrients?
Epidermal cells receive nutrients and oxygen from the blood vessels in the dermis.
What is the functoin of the blood vessels?
Blood vessels carry oxygen and nutrients to the cells and removes CO2 and waste.
Nutrients pass from the blood vessels to the bone cells by way of the?
canaliculi
Vessels that allow oxygen and nutrients to pass through to cells?
Capillaries
