Detailed explanation-1: -Nonvascular plants include liverworts, hornworts, and mosses. They lack roots, stems, and leaves. Nonvascular plants are low-growing, reproduce with spores, and need a moist habitat.
Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -A few algae, liverworts, hornworts and mosses are nonvascular plants.
Detailed explanation-4: -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-5: -Examples of nonvascular plants include mosses or Bryophytes, liverworts or Hepaticophyta, and hornworts or Anthocerophyta. Is moss a nonvascular plant? Yes, mosses belong to the group of nonvascular plants called Bryophytes. They are autotrophs and produce their food by photosynthesis.
