bryophytes lack vascular tissue, and therefore they lack a true stem or leaves because these contain vascular tissues. Another is they lack the ability to reproduce outside of water, and therefore grow close to the ground.

What makes bryophytes nonvascular?

If angiosperm is a flowering plant what is a non-flowering plant called?
There is no single term for non-flowering plants. There are several types of non-flowering plants: bryophytes, seedless vascular plants, and gymnosperms. Mosses and liverorts are called Bryophytes, the simplest of the non-flowering plants. They lack special food and water conducting tissues found in other plants. Seedless vascular plants (plants that have food and water conducting tissues but reproduce by spores, not seeds) include ferns and clubmosses. Gymnosperms include the conifers (Pines, etc.) that produce seeds from cones, not flowers.
Why do some stems of plants not growing straight up?
Due to lack of mechanical tissue
What is a nonvascular plant-?
Lack true roots, stems, and leaves. It may have structures that resemble all of the above but are not "true parts". Bryophytes is one group of non-vascular plants. ex: such as mosses and liverworts, have no vascular tissue and either occur in moist locations or have special adaptations for living in dry locations. the other group is algaealgae
What are vascular plants and non-vascular plants?
non- vascular plants have no vascular tissues and they are not considered as true plant. they are also called as thallophytes. vascular plants have vascular tissues,they are the xylem and phloem. xylem tissue transport water and dissolved nutrients from roots to leaves, while the phloem transports them up to the leaves and other plant parts.they are also called as tracheophytes. the vascular plants have 2 groups and they're spore- bearing and seed- bearing plants. the seed- bearing has 2 groups, angiosperms and gymnosperms. the non- vascular pant has 1 group, the bryophytes.
Does bryophytes have flowers?
Bryophytes (aka embryophytes) is a term used for mosses, hornworts and liverworts. These plants are small, green, rootless, and they reproduce by spores instead of seeds. Daffodils are flowering herbaceous perennials reproduce by seeds. Daffodils are NOT bryophytes.

What characteristic of bryophytes is responsible for their small size?
That IS the basis of the answer. They don't have vascular tissue. This lack of vascular tissue keeps them small because:1. Bryophytes don't have specialized tissue to transport food and water through a larger plant.2. Vascular tissue is the main means of support in larger plants. No vascular tissue - less support.6 years ago
What is brayophyta?
its a plant division......they are gametophyte dominant...have a waxy cuticle,vascular tissue, and spores =]
Why are bryophytes called non vascular plants?
because they lack xylem and phloem.
What are the uses of bryophytes?
Bryophytes are land plants that lack a true vascular system. This division includes liverworts, hornworts and mosses. Human uses for these plants are few, beyond decoration. Some varieties are edible. Other bryophytes have been used for air-purification in a manner similar to vascular plants. They are prevalent in many ecosystems and an important part of the food chain.
Are bryophytes the simplest group of plant?
Bryophytes are the simplest land plants because they lack vascular tissues and are usually 1 to 2 cm in height and they need water for their reproductioin and they live in damp places and in them gametophyte generation is dominant.

what group of plants do NOT have roots or xylem vessels?
Plants with no vascular tissue (i.e. xylem and phloem) are called bryophytes, and include mosses, liverworts, and hornworts. Algae also lack vascular tissue, and are primarily aquatic (with the exception of lichens).
What are plants that lack tubes for carrying food and water called?
ricca and marchantia are two plants without tubes they are also non-vascular
Why do some stems of plants not growing straight up?
