Is an American beech a nonvascular plant?

No, an American beech is not a nonvascular plant; it is a vascular plant. Vascular plants have specialized tissues (xylem and phloem) for transporting water, nutrients, and sugars. The American beech (Fagus grandifolia) is a deciduous tree that belongs to the beech family and is characterized by its broad leaves and smooth gray bark. Nonvascular plants, like mosses and liverworts, lack these specialized tissues and are generally smaller and found in moist environments.
