How are oak trees and moss alike?
A
They are both vascular plants
B
they both make their own food
C
they are both nonvascular plants
D
they both have roots that take in water
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Because they contain chlorophyll, mosses can manufacture their own food. Mosses grow on soils, on tree trunks and branches, on rocks, and in water. They are typically soft and prefer damp shady areas. Even though mosses make their own food through photosynthesis like other plants, they do not have flowers or seeds.

Detailed explanation-2: -Mosses absorb moisture and nutrients through their leaves. In other words, they drink rainwater and eat dust particles. Their entire sustenance is derived through this simple diet.

Detailed explanation-3: -They are usually small (a few centimeters tall) herbaceous (non-woody) plants that absorb water and nutrients mainly through their leaves and harvest carbon dioxide and sunlight to create food by photosynthesis.

Detailed explanation-4: -Commensalistic symbiosis is when one organism benefits while the other is neither helped nor harmed. For example, moss growing on the bark of the oaks at the Table Rocks benefits by having a surface to grow on, while the oaks are not affected.
