what Is the definition of non-vascular?
A
Has water pipes
B
Absorb water from around it’s self
C
Plants that have flowers
D
Plants that have seeds
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -: a simple, low-growing, nonflowering plant (such as a moss or liverwort) that lacks specialized conducting channels for transporting water and nutrients and in which the photosynthetic gametophyte is the dominant stage of the life cycle.

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -Non-vascular plants, as the name suggests, lack vascular bundles. They are small in size and may possess simpler structures for the conduction of water and nutrients. Bryophytes such as mosses and algae are non-vascular plants. They do not possess true roots, stems and leaves. Xylem and phloem are absent.
