bryophytes lack vascular tissue, and therefore they lack a true stem or leaves because these contain vascular tissues. Another is they lack the ability to reproduce outside of water, and therefore grow close to the ground.

What is the scientific name for nonvascular plants?

The scientific name for nonvascular plants is Bryophyta. These plants do not have specialized tissues for transporting water and nutrients, and they include mosses, liverworts, and hornworts.


What are nonvascular plants?

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.
