Nonvascular plants are referred to as bryophytes and are divided into three different types, including mosses, liverworts, and hornworts.
tubes
the life functions of nonvascular plants require a close association with water.
Vascular plants have a specialized vascular system made up of xylem and phloem, which allows them to transport water, nutrients, and sugars. Nonvascular plants, on the other hand, lack this specialized system and instead absorb water and nutrients directly into their tissues. Additionally, vascular plants have true roots, stems, and leaves, while nonvascular plants do not.

The water moves into transport tissue/tubes in the roots called xylem if the plant is vascular. Nonvascular plants have no xylem. Water moves from cell to cell in nonvascular plants. In both cases, the type of movement is called osmosis.
Nonvascular plants do not have a system of tubes to move water and minerals throughout it. these plants are usually plants completely submerged in water.
tubes
well nonvascular plants don't have tubes such as vascular plants do. Water must soak into plants and pass slowly from cell to cell.

The earth is 3/4 water and nonvascular plants can take, and have taken advantage of this watery niche.
ricca and marchantia are two plants without tubes they are also non-vascular
Non-vascular plants are those that do not have a system to transport water and nutrients from the roots to the stems; normally they rely on osmosis for this this function. Due to this limitation the plants tend to be small, thin walled, grow in clusters and are often found in the close proximity to water. An example is the moss plant
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
It absorbs water like a sponge
