Because nonvascular plants do not have true leaves
Non-vascular plants have to stay close to the ground because they have to get their water supply through osmosis. They absorb the water from the damp ground they grow on.
It must be vascular because the pictures show it to be a tall flowering plant. All nonvascular plants are small and grow close to the ground since they lack phloem and xylem
drying out
well nonvascular plants don't have tubes such as vascular plants do. Water must soak into plants and pass slowly from cell to cell.
Non-vascular plants are restricted to the water and nutrients they can absorb through their surfaces areas. They must also grow underwater or in very humid environments to keep from drying out.

Moss is a nonvascular plant. They lack some of the more elaborate adaptations to dry environments that are found in the vascular plants, and so must live in a moist environment.
Plants grow by photosynthesis in which they use sunlight as energy. In other ways, plants must have light to grow
Fixation
Since they do not have the vascular tissue, especially xylem, to move water around the pant to where it is needed they must reside in water or very near the waters edge to stay hydrated.
Can only transport water short distances
