vascular plants make seeds in flowers and non-vascular plants make seeds in fruit

|
|
vascular plants reproduce by spores and non-vascular plant reproduce by seeds
|
|
|
non-vascular plants grows tall and vascular plants grow close to the ground
|
|
|
Vascular plants have vascular tissue to transport water, nutrients, and food and non-vascular plant don’t
|
Detailed explanation-1: -Water-and nutrient-conducting tissue called xylem is found in vascular plants. Non-vascular plants and bryophytes do not have xylem or vascular tissue to transport nutrients. Bryophytes rely on surface absorption through their leaves for survival.
Detailed explanation-2: -Vascular tissues are the specialized tissues of vascular plants that perform conducting function inside plant body. These tissues have mainly transport function and transport water, nutrient, minerals etc from one part of plant body to other. They are of mainly two types: Xylem and Phloem.
Detailed explanation-3: -Non-vascular plants do not have any differentiated vascular tissues, whilst the seedless vascular plants have vascular tissues to transport water and other nutrients within their bodies. Non-vascular plants do not possess roots, stems, or leaves, but seedless vascular plants have roots, stems, and leaves.
Detailed explanation-4: -Answer: The main difference between vascular and nonvascular plants is that a vascular plant has vascular vessels to carry water and food to all the different parts of the plant. The phloem is the vessel that transports food and the xylem is the vessel that transports water.
