Detailed explanation-1: -Nonvascular plants (often referred to collectively as the bryophytes) include three groups: the mosses (Bryophyta), approximately 15, 000 species; liverworts (Hepaticophyta), approximately 7500 species; and hornworts (Anthocerophyta), approximately 250 species (Table 1).
Detailed explanation-2: -Plants that lack vascular tissue, which is formed of specialized cells for the transport of water and nutrients, are referred to as non-vascular plants. Liverworts, mosses, and hornworts are seedless, non-vascular plants that likely appeared early in land plant evolution.
Detailed explanation-3: -Non-vascular plants do not possess roots, stems, or leaves, but seedless vascular plants have roots, stems, and leaves.
Detailed explanation-4: -Seedless vascular plants are plants that contain vascular tissue, but do not produce flowers or seeds.
