How do the size of moss moss fern plants differ?
Ferns are vascular plants. They contain vascular strands that allow water and nutrients to be transferred throughout the the plant. Mosses lack the vascular strands(or tissue) causing the mosses to have a much smaller stature because they are not able to transfer nutrients very well.
What non vascular plants grow in dense carpets of houndred plants?
Mosses are non-vascular plants that often grow in dense carpets. They can form lush carpets in various habitats, providing ground cover and helping to retain moisture. Mosses do not have true roots, stems, or leaves.

You know when they are taller than they were!
Vascular plants can grow taller and thicker than mosses because they have?
Vascular plants have specialized tissues called xylem and phloem that allow for the transport of water and nutrients throughout the plant, supporting its growth and structure. Mosses lack these tissues, which limits their size and ability to grow taller and thicker.
Why do Vascular plants grow taller and thicker than mosses?
Vascular plants have specialized tissues for conducting water and nutrients, allowing them to grow taller and thicker. Mosses lack these tissues, limiting their growth potential. Additionally, vascular plants have evolved to invest more resources in structures that support height and thickness, such as lignin-rich cell walls and woody tissues.
During succession what might become the limiting factor for sun loving mosses as taller plants begin to grow?
The limiting factor for sun-loving mosses as taller plants grow during succession would likely be reduced light availability. As taller plants shade the ground below them, the mosses may receive less sunlight, causing them to struggle to photosynthesize and grow. This reduced light can hinder the mosses' ability to compete with the taller plants for resources.
Why cant ferns grow taller than mosses?
Because mosses rely on diffusion to transport water up the cells and do not have the vessels found in plant cells that allow water to be carried upwards.
What grow taller true mosses or club mosses?
True mosses generally grow taller than club mosses. True mosses, also known as Bryophyta, have a simple leafy structure and can grow up to several inches tall. In contrast, club mosses, also known as Lycopodiophyta, have a more complex vascular structure and usually grow lower to the ground, forming dense carpets or small clusters.
