The difference is that vascular plants can grow very large because they have xylem and phloem to carry water, nutrients and food to all their parts. Nonvascular plants do not have xylem and phloem so each cell has to absorb water and nutrients from the soil and air.

Vascular plants have a system of cells that transport water through the plant, non-vascular plants do not.
