because it can't transport enough water to grow tall
because these are slow growing plants
elevation and lack of sunlight.
Believe it or not, cyanide kills us by inhibiting active transport, to such an extent that substances can no longer be transferred across cell membranes. This is one example of a substance that stops the process of active transport dead in its tracks.
low growing, doesn't have great roots for absorption, like damp, shady places, lack well developed transport tubes

Vessels
Actually, plants with vessels to transport water and nutrients are called vascular plants. Vascular plants have specialized tissues, namely xylem and phloem, that facilitate the movement of water, minerals, and sugars throughout the plant. In contrast, nonvascular plants, such as mosses, lack these specialized structures and rely on diffusion for the transport of substances. This distinction is crucial for understanding plant biology and ecology.
red blood cells carries oxygen, xylem vessels carries water. both help carry out the process of respiration.
A lack of any fuel
Plants that do not grow tall due to a lack of transport tissue, such as vascular plants, include non-vascular plants like mosses, liverworts, and hornworts. These plants lack xylem and phloem, which are essential for transporting water, nutrients, and sugars throughout the plant. As a result, they remain small and typically grow in moist environments where they can absorb water directly through their surfaces. Their limited structure prevents them from achieving the height and complexity seen in vascular plants.
Lack of rain prevents chemical erosion in a dessert.
The other tube that transports water and minerals is the xylem.
