Because vascular tissue is the transport system of a plant. if a plant doesn't have vascular tissue it cant transport water and minerals to all parts of the plant if it is big. So the non-vascular plant like moss needs to be small for sufficient distribution of water and minerals etc without a transport system. eg- moss
What else can I help you with?
Why are some vascular plants able to grow taller than nonvascular plants?
i think vascular plants are unable to perform cell to cell transpot
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.
How do vascular differ fom nonvascular plants?
Vascular plants have specialized tissues (xylem and phloem) for transporting water and nutrients, while nonvascular plants lack these tissues and rely on diffusion for nutrient transport. Vascular plants are able to grow taller and have more complex structures compared to nonvascular plants, which are typically smaller and simpler in form.
What do seedless vascular plants and vascular plants have in common?
Nonvascular plants and seedless vascular plants are both land plants that evolved from green algae. Both types also rely on water to be able to reproduce.
What is true of both nonvascular plants an seedless vascular plants?
Both nonvascular plants and seedless vascular plants reproduce using spores, lack seeds and flowers, and rely on water for fertilization to occur. Additionally, they do not have a well-developed system for water and nutrient transport like vascular plants do.
Do nonvascular plants come from seeds or spores?
Non-vascular plants reproduce from spores. Non-vascular plants are mosses, liverworts, and hornworts. Some non-vascular plants have male plants and female plants. Others are able to have both sex organs on the same plant.
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.
How does the absence of vascular tissue in nonvascular plants affect their structure and appearance?
The absence of vascular tissue in nonvascular plants limits their ability to grow tall and transport water and nutrients efficiently. As a result, nonvascular plants tend to be small in size and have a more simple structure, lacking true roots, stems, and leaves. They rely on other methods, such as osmosis and diffusion, for water and nutrient uptake.
Who do non vascular plants not grow as tall as vascular plants like pines or mahogany?
The vascular system in plants like pines give the plants stength, stability, and ability to transport nutrients around the plant. Non-vascular plants can not grow as tall as vascular plants becasue without the vascular system the plant is not able to transport nutrients great distances easily, and do not have the structural support to grow up.
Which plants are nonvascular?
anything with no true roots like moss, liverworts,hornworts.
Do nonvascular plants absorb water and nutrients?
Yes, Nonvascular Plants do not have vessels. Nonvascular plants are found in damp environments and are only a few cells thick, so they are able to absorb water and nutrients from it directly through their cell walls. Vascular plants are more complex and are thick, so they need vessels to get their water and nutrients. See related question
