Vascular plants are plants that have transport tissues for carrying water, nutrients, and sugar to plant cells. Because they have transport tissues, many vascular plants can become very large. An example of a vascular plant is a full grown tree. The transport tissues form a system of tubes tat extends from the roots to all parts of the plant. These tubes are made up of two kinds of tissue: xylem and phloem. Xylem tissue carries water and nutrients from the roots to the leaves. Phloem tissue carries sugar from the leaves to other cells of the plants.

Non vascular plants are plants that lack tissues that transport water, nutrients, and sugar. Some example of non vascular plants are mosses, liverworts, and hornworts. Non vascular plants don't have tissues to carry the materials that cells need to stay healthy. Because of this, they don't grow very large. These plants don't have true roots to absorb water. Instead, each cell absorbs the water and nutrients it needs directly from the soil or air. Because they tend to live very close together, the cells of these plants may also get materials they need from neighboring plant cells.

Vascular plants have roots which collect water whereas non vascular plants stick to surfaces and collect water that way without roots. Invertebrates are animals without a backbone and vertebrates and animals with a backbone. 😃
