They transport material, such as nutrients, through rhizoids, long thin cells that also anchor and absorb the minerals. They transfer material from rhizoid to rhizoid through the process of osmosis.

leaves need water to carry out photosynthesis. water mover from the plants roots up the stem to the leaves. during photosynthesis, the leaves make food for the plant.food moves from the leaves to all parts of the plant.

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 does water travel through a nonvascular plant?

well nonvascular plants don't have tubes such as vascular plants do. Water must soak into plants and pass slowly from cell to cell.


Is a purple coneflower vascular or nonvascular?

Conifer is a vascular plant.


Sensitive plants is vascular?

Yes, the sensitive plant, more commonly called the TickleMe Plant, is a vascular plant.Rrelated Information:TickleMe Plants are flowering plants, producing cotton candy like pink flowers.All flowering plants are angiosperms. All angiosperms are vascular plants.Vascular plants like the TickleMe, have specialized tissue that allows the plant to circulate chemicals throughout the plant.The TickleMe Plant closes its leaves and lowers its branches when touched. This is the result of the increased pressure in its cells, made possible in part by the vascular tissue.


What happens to water after a plant uses it Is it just gone forever?

Water helps a plant by transporting important nutrients through the plant. Nutrients are drawn from the soil and used by the plant. Without enough water in the cells, the plants droop, so water helps a plant to stand.


The reproductive cycle of a nonvascular plant depends on what?

Water


How does water flow up a plant?

Water flows through a plant with the xylem when it collects water and the nutrients in a plant.


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.


What is the difference between vascular plants and nonvascular plants?

The difference is that vascular plants can grow very large because they have xylem and phloem to carry water, nutrients and food to all their parts. Nonvascular plants do not have xylem and phloem so each cell has to absorb water and nutrients from the soil and air.


The male reproductive structure of nonvascular plants is called?

The female gametophyte structure that produces eggs in nonvascular plants are called archegonia. The male structure that produces sperm are called antheridia. A gametophyte is the part of the plant that is responsible for creating gametes AKA sexual reproductive cell (sperm or egg). A nonvascular plant is a plant that isn't capable of transporting water and nutrients throughout itself very far because it lacks the proper vessels and veins for the transport. This causes these plants to be small in size so the plant doesn't have to transport the water and nutrients very far.


What enters the plant through its roots?

Minerals, Vitamins and Water.
