What grow taller true mosses or club mosses?

True mosses generally grow taller than club mosses. True mosses, also known as Bryophyta, have a simple leafy structure and can grow up to several inches tall. In contrast, club mosses, also known as Lycopodiophyta, have a more complex vascular structure and usually grow lower to the ground, forming dense carpets or small clusters.


Why do plants grow taller and thicker than mosses?

Beacause they have a tube to carry food and water, while mosses do not


During succession what might become the limiting factor for sun loving mosses as taller plants begin to grow?

The limiting factor for sun-loving mosses as taller plants grow during succession would likely be reduced light availability. As taller plants shade the ground below them, the mosses may receive less sunlight, causing them to struggle to photosynthesize and grow. This reduced light can hinder the mosses' ability to compete with the taller plants for resources.


Why cant ferns grow taller than mosses?

Because mosses rely on diffusion to transport water up the cells and do not have the vessels found in plant cells that allow water to be carried upwards.


Do nonvascular plants include horse tails and mosses?

Yes, both horsetails and mosses are examples of nonvascular plants. They lack specialized tissues for transporting water and nutrients, relying instead on diffusion and osmosis. This limits their size and ability to grow tall.


Why do Vascular plants grow taller and thicker than mosses?

Vascular plants have specialized tissues for conducting water and nutrients, allowing them to grow taller and thicker. Mosses lack these tissues, limiting their growth potential. Additionally, vascular plants have evolved to invest more resources in structures that support height and thickness, such as lignin-rich cell walls and woody tissues.


Which plants are seedless?

There are plants with seeds and also those which produce spores or gametes for reproduction. Ferns, horsetails, mosses, and liverworts do not produce flowers or grow from seeds.


Ferns are more advanced than mosses because mosses lack which structure found in ferns?

Ferns are considered more advanced than mosses because they have vascular tissues like xylem and phloem, which mosses lack. Vascular tissues allow ferns to transport water and nutrients more efficiently throughout the plant, enabling them to grow taller and have more complex structures. This gives ferns an evolutionary advantage over mosses in terms of size and complexity.


Vascular plants can grow taller and thicker than mosses because they have?

Vascular plants have specialized tissues called xylem and phloem that allow for the transport of water and nutrients throughout the plant, supporting its growth and structure. Mosses lack these tissues, which limits their size and ability to grow taller and thicker.


Can horsetails grow in arid evironments?

Although horsetails (Equesitum) have xerophytic characterstics and grow in porous soils, some moisture is required for their normal growth.
