What trait do ferns have that mosses do not?
Mosses are non-vascular plants whereas ferns are vascular. In ferns Sporophyte is dominant but in mosses gametophyte is dominant generation. Ferns have definite roots but in mosses leaves and roots are mostly false.
What part of seedless vascular plants contain vascular tissue?
The stems and roots of seedless vascular plants contain vascular tissue, which includes xylem and phloem for transporting water, nutrients, and sugars throughout the plant. This vascular tissue allows for the efficient transport of resources, supporting the growth and function of the plant.
What are basic structural differences between bryophytes and vascular plants?
Bryophytes are land plants that are non-vascular plants. Most do not have special structures for the transport of water. If they do contain specialized structure for tranportation of water, they do not contain lignin, so they are not considered true vascular plants. They are mosses, hornworts, and liverworts. Vascular plants contain lignified tissues (xylem) for transporting water and spcialized non-lignified tissue (phloem) to conduct products of photosynthesis. They iclude clubmosses, horsetails, ferns, and gymnosperms (including conifers), and angiosperms (flowering plants).
What is non-vascular tissue?
Non-vascular tissue, also known as avascular tissue, refers to tissues that lack blood vessels for nutrient and water distribution. Examples include cartilage, epithelial tissue, cornea, and the lens of the eye. These tissues rely on diffusion for the exchange of gases and nutrients.
How are club mosses and ferns similar?
Club mosses (Phylum Lycopodophyta) and horsetails (Phylum Equisetophyta) are similar to ferns (Phylum Pteridophyta) in that they; - do not produce seeds, only spores - have stems that are unstrengthened by wood (evolved first in the more advanced gymnosperms) - have a dominant sporophyte generation - do have vascular tissue (not as advanced as seed plants but there nonetheless) - do not produce flowers (flowers evolved first in angiosperms)

What parts of the plant contain vascular tissue?
The stem
Why are liverworts unable to grow tall?
They do not contain vascular tissue.
What is the definition of non vascular plants?
Non-vascular plants is a general term for those plants without a vascular system (xylem and phloem). Although non-vascular plants lack these particular tissues, a number of non-vascular plants possess tissues specialized for internal transport of water. Non-vascular plants have no roots, stems, or leaves, since each of these structures is defined as containing vascular tissue. The lobes (rounded parts) of the liverwort may look like leaves, but they are not true leaves because they have no xylem or phloem. Likewise, mosses and algae have no such tissues. All plants have a life cycle with an alternation of generations between a diploid sporophyte and a haploid gametophyte, but nonvascular plants include the only plants that have a dominant gametophyte generation. In these plants, the sporophytes grow attached and are dependent on gametophytes for taking in water and other materials. Non-vascular plants grow from spores.
Describe the difference between a vascular plant life cycle and a nonvascular plant life cycle?
In term of reproduction within the life cycle to main difference is that seed plants spread seed in order to reproduce whereas seedless vascular plants spread spores in order to continue the life cycle.

What does vascular plants have?
Vascular plants have vascular tissue .
Where is vascular tissue found in plant?
In the stem and leaves of plants most of the vascular tissue is found. This vascular tissue is in the form of xylem and phloem.
