Nonvascular plants dont have xylem and phloem, whereas seed plants have vascular bundles
Vascular plants. Xylem and Phloem are the vascular system of plants. If you compare it with humans, they're the blood vessels...sort of Xylem transports water, Phloem transports nutrients
Vascular plants have specialized tissues for conducting water and nutrients throughout the plant, allowing for greater size and complexity compared to nonvascular plants, which lack these tissues. Vascular plants also have true roots, stems, and leaves, while nonvascular plants usually have simpler structures like rhizoids for anchorage. Vascular plants reproduce through seeds or spores, while nonvascular plants rely on spores for reproduction.
Pollen is nonvascular, as it is a structure produced by seed plants for reproduction and does not contain any conducting tissues like xylem or phloem found in vascular plants.
The water moves into transport tissue/tubes in the roots called xylem if the plant is vascular. Nonvascular plants have no xylem. Water moves from cell to cell in nonvascular plants. In both cases, the type of movement is called osmosis.

The absence of xylem and phloem.
Within vascular plants is the phloem, the vessel that transports food, and the xylem, which transports water. Nonvascular plants are small, simple plants without a vascular system. They do not have a phloem or xylem.

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.
Pine trees are vascular plants because these have well defined xylem and phloem tissues.
Yes, but some plants lack certain types of xylem and phloem cells such as vessel elements and tracheids. Tracheids have been lost in Wolffia, an aquatic plant, and vessels are not present in all conifers.
Nonvascular plants do not have xylem to transfer water through their bodies; therefore, they grow in moist places where water is readily available and in great supply so that it is easier to reach all parts.
Nonvascular plants lack specialized vascular tissues like xylem and phloem, which are responsible for transporting water, minerals, and nutrients throughout the plant. This lack of vascular tissues means that nonvascular plants are typically smaller in size and restricted to inhabiting moist environments where they can absorb water directly through their tissues.
