What are nonvascular plants?

Answer 1

Nonvascular plants are low-growing, have cell walls, and do not have roots for absorbing water from the ground.

Plants that don't have specialized systems on the order of xylem and phloem for moving water through internal tissues are nonvascular plants. For example, a tree's xylem is a channel for moving water and nutrients upwards through a tree. A tree's phloem is a channel for flowing the end products downwards from the photosynthetic interaction with sunlight.

So nonvascular plants have no leaves, roots or stems. Their two main examples are the green algae and the bryophytes. The bryophytes include the mosses [Bryophyta], the liverworts [Marchantiophyta], and the hornworts [Anthocerotophyta]. Liverworts may appear to have leaves. But they aren't true leaves, because of the lack of vascular tissue. Instead what they have are rounded parts called lobes.

Answer 2

Nonvascular plants, also known as bryophytes, are plant species that lack vascular tissues for transporting water and nutrients. This group includes mosses, liverworts, and hornworts. Nonvascular plants typically grow in moist environments and have a small, low-growing structure.

Answer 3

Plants that lack the vascular complex, that is internal xylem structures used for stiffening and fluid transport. Such plants include the mosses and liverworts.

Answer 4

mosses and algae
