Best Answer

Mosses and liverworts lack the conducting tissue found in the veins of higher plants. They are non-vascular plants, meaning they don't have the vessels to conduct and circulate fluids (water). The water is by cell to cell diffusion for transport and this causes size restriction. They don't have vascular tissue for strength for upright growth. The habitat must be moist for growth, so they are retricted to those types of areas.

What descriptive phrase fits non-vascular plants?

Ancient evolution, internal challenges, limited size, restricted space and water dependency are descriptive phrases that fit non-vascular plants. Non-vascular plants such as green algae, hornworts, liverworts and mosses count among the first life forms recognizable as plants, albeit without internal means for in-taking, processing and storing nutrients and water. They therefore never overcome the environmental challenge of being near moist earth or open water for food, lodging and reproduction or the spatial limit of the physical shape assumed for the environmental space that it fills.
