Simply, vascular plant have the vascular tissues xylem and phloem. The first brings water from the roots to the leaves and the second tissue brings manufactured sugars from the leave to where they are needed in the plant.

Nonvascular plant must reside near water to preform the same functions with the vascular tissues.

The vascular tissue adaptions allowed plants to move away from the water and colonize all the land.
