Detailed explanation-1: -Nonvascular plants are called bryophytes. 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 are plants that do not have any special internal pipelines or channels to carry water and nutrients. Instead, nonvascular plants absorb water and minerals directly through their leaflike scales. Nonvascular plants are usually found growing close to the ground in damp, moist places.

Detailed explanation-3: -: 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-4: -Why Are Nonvascular Plants So Small? Nonvascular plants lack vascular tissue. Vascular tissue provides some type of support and structure to vascular plants. Nonvascular plants absorb water and nutrients from the ground so they remain close to the ground to access water.

Detailed explanation-5: -A few algae, liverworts, hornworts and mosses are nonvascular plants.
