How do nutrients move through nonvascular plants?
A
Along stems
B
From cell to cell
C
Through leaves
D
Through roots
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Passive osmosis is used by nonvascular plants to transport materials to internal cells. Rhizoids are used to transport nutrients and minerals.

Detailed explanation-2: -Mosses and liverworts are small, primitive, non-vascular plants. They lack the conductive tissue most plants use to transport water and nutrients. Instead, moisture is absorbed directly into cells by osmosis.

Detailed explanation-3: -Section Summary. Seedless nonvascular plants are small. The dominant stage of the life cycle is the gametophyte. Without a vascular system and roots, they absorb water and nutrients through all of their exposed surfaces.

Detailed explanation-4: -Types of Nonvascular Plants Multicellular filaments called “Rhizoids” help them stay firmly attached to the surface on which they grow. They have a “thallus” in which photosynthesis occurs for their nutrition. Stomata are present in mosses, through which they take in the carbon dioxide needed for photosynthesis.
