a group of non vascular plant
No, tracheophytes and atracheophytes are not the same. Tracheophytes are vascular plants that have specialized tissues for conducting water and nutrients, such as xylem and phloem. Atracheophytes, on the other hand, do not possess these specialized vascular tissues and rely on other strategies for water and nutrient transport, such as absorption through cell walls.
tracheophytes are plants with roots,stem leaves and they have conducting tubes,while atracheophytes are plants that don't have roots,stem,leaves and conducting tubes.
Atracheophytes, such as mosses and liverworts, lack vascular tissue, which is essential for the transport of water and nutrients throughout the plant. Without this system, they cannot efficiently distribute resources to support a tall structure, limiting their growth to low, ground-hugging forms. Additionally, their reliance on direct water absorption from the environment prevents them from developing the structural support needed for height. As a result, they typically occupy moist habitats and remain small in stature.
