Bryophytes are land plants that are non-vascular plants. Most do not have special structures for the transport of water. If they do contain specialized structure for tranportation of water, they do not contain lignin, so they are not considered true vascular plants. They are mosses, hornworts, and liverworts. Vascular plants contain lignified tissues (xylem) for transporting water and spcialized non-lignified tissue (phloem) to conduct products of photosynthesis. They iclude clubmosses, horsetails, ferns, and gymnosperms (including conifers), and angiosperms (flowering plants).

What is the difference between bryophytes and tracheophytes?

The main difference between bryophytes and tracheophytes is that bryophytes are non-vascular plants whereas tracheophytes are vascular plants. Both of them have heteromorphic alternation of generation that means the two generations gametophytes and sporophytes are morphologically as well as cytologically different. in bryophytes gametophyte generation is more prominent in which male and female gametes fuse to each other to form zygote which develops into well protected embryo, while in tracheophytes, sporophytes generation is more dominant and gametophyte generation is very small and inconspicuous.

What is the difference between vascular pants and non vascular plants?

You get two pairs for less than double and they don't crease but they do not last as long as the plants. Vascular plants have well defined xylem & phloem and is the characterstic feature of Pteridophytes, Gymnosperms and Angiosperms. Non-vascular plants lack xylem & ploem as in case of Algae, Fungi and Bryophytes.
