It lacks vascular tissue. Vascular tissue is what pumps the water from the roots to the top of the plant. Because moss has no vascular tissue and no formal root system it has to be small enough to conserve water and make it easy for water to reach the entire plant

(It's a non vascular plant, which means that it transmits water and neutriants through cell to cell interactions. This means that if the organism grows too tall, the upper cells will be unable to acquire nutrients, and it will die.)

tundra
Where does the moss grow?
mosses are usually found in damp areas, commonly in woodlands or on the edge of streams. Some can be found in damp areas in cities. Mosses can inhabit marshy areas, slow moving waterways and boggy areas. Trees and rocks in moist regions can attract colonies of moss generally found on the north side, the side away from sunlight in the northern hemisphere
Do mosses grow low to the ground?
Mosses grow low to the ground because that is where the environment is best for them. They are able to get water from the soil below them. They absorb it from the ground.
A friend tells you that he saw a mosses plant that are about 2 meters tall Is your friend correct?
No, your friend is not correct. Mosses are small, non-vascular plants that typically grow close to the ground and do not have a height of 2 meters.
Which plants are the first to grow during primary succession?
mosses...
Which bio-me is a treeless plain where only short grasses mosses and scrubs grow because the ground is frozen for most of the year?
Tundra
Which type of nonvascular plant grows low to the ground?
all non vascular plants grow low to the ground
Mosses grow from special cells called what?
Mosses grow from special cells called rhizomes. The rhizomes are the ones that will produce rhizoids which stems will grow from.
Do mosses grow on oil palm trees?
mosses do not grow o oil palm trees, it is not the right conitions for the moss
Primary succession?
Plnats grow on rocks like lichens and mosses.
What is a tree line?
Above a certain elevation, temperatures are too low for plants or trees to grow. The climate above the tree line is like a tundra. Only low plants, mosses, and lichens can grow there. That is a tree line.
Where are mosses and liverwort grow?
In water
Why do mosses grow close to the ground?
It is a Non Vascular plant which is meant to be short and close to the ground
