Since they do not have the vascular tissue, especially xylem, to move water around the pant to where it is needed they must reside in water or very near the waters edge to stay hydrated.

What plants that live in Florida are nonvascular?

Nonvascular plants that can be found in Florida include mosses, liverworts, and hornworts. These plants lack true roots, stems, and leaves, and they primarily rely on diffusion to transport water and nutrients throughout their structures. Nonvascular plants are typically found in moist or damp environments such as forests, swamps, and along riverbanks in Florida.


Nonvascular plants must have adaptations to keep them from?

Nonvascular plants lack the complex vascular system found in vascular plants, making it challenging to transport water and nutrients. To prevent drying out, nonvascular plants have evolved adaptations like growing in damp environments, having a small size to reduce water loss, and absorbing water directly through their cells. These adaptations help nonvascular plants survive in their habitats despite their limited ability to transport water and nutrients.
