What does non nonvascular mean?

Answer 1

Non-vascular plants is a general term for those plants without a vascular system (xylem and phloem). Although non-vascular plants lack these particular tissues, a number of non-vascular plants possess tissues specialized for internal transport of water.

Non-vascular plants have no roots, stems, or leaves, since each of these structures is defined as containing vascular tissue. The lobes (rounded parts) of the liverwort may look like leaves, but they are not true leaves because they have no xylem or phloem. Likewise, mosses and algae have no such tissues.

All plants have a life cycle with an alternation of generations between a diploid sporophyte and a haploid gametophyte, but nonvascular plants include the only plants that have a dominant gametophyte generation. In these plants, the sporophytes grow attached and are dependent on gametophytes for taking in water and other materials. Non-vascular plants grow from spores.

Answer 2

Nonvascular means lacking specialized tissues for conducting water and nutrients. Nonvascular plants, such as mosses and liverworts, do not have true roots, stems, or leaves to transport fluids internally like vascular plants do. Instead, they rely on diffusion to absorb and transport water and nutrients throughout their simple structures.

Answer 3

Any of various plants that lack vascular tissue; a bryophyte

(basically its a plant without or has a very short sturdy stem.)

Answer 4

Non vascular for plants means they don't have the "vains" or channels for water to travel through but absorb water directly into the plant. hope this helps

Answer 5

A plant that lacks of a well developed system of tubes for transporting water and other materials.
