Vascular plants can grow taller and thicker than mosses because they have?
because one has a tube in it and others do not
Why are vascular plants taller than non vascular plants?
Because vascular plants have stems and non vascular plants don't.
What advantage does a vascular plant have over a non vascular plant-?
Vascular plants have xylem and phloem, thus allowing the plant to live on land and not only in watery-marshy areas. Vascular plants are also able to grow bigger and taller.
Why can most vascular plants grow much taller then nonvascular plants?
Non vascular plants have no internal "circulatory system" or any means of moving liquid and nutrients around their body. Therefore they need to grow low to the ground and in a moist environment in order to get their nutrients through osmosis through the ground. Vascular plants are able to get their nutrients delivered through the body through veins, allowing them to grow taller.
Why are mosses and lichens sometimes called pioneer plants?

How do the size of moss moss fern plants differ?
Ferns are vascular plants. They contain vascular strands that allow water and nutrients to be transferred throughout the the plant. Mosses lack the vascular strands(or tissue) causing the mosses to have a much smaller stature because they are not able to transfer nutrients very well.
Why cant ferns grow taller than mosses?
Because mosses rely on diffusion to transport water up the cells and do not have the vessels found in plant cells that allow water to be carried upwards.
Which plants are vascular?
There are too many vascular plants to count, but vascular plants are generally taller than non-vascular plants. Most plants are vascular.
Can vascular plants can grow taller than nonvascular plants?

Why are vascular plants taller than non vascular plants?
Because vascular plants have stems and non vascular plants don't.
Vascular plants can grow taller than nonvascular plants true or false?
True because the tissues allow better growth.
Why are some vascular plants able to grow taller than nonvascular plants?
