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 do not have roots, stems, and leaves, and they do not have vascular tissues within them, and they grow only in moist environments. 9. What are the 3 types of nonvascular plants? Mosses, liverworts, and hornworts are the three types of nonvascular plants.

Detailed explanation-3: -Bryophytes such as mosses and algae are non-vascular plants. They do not possess true roots, stems and leaves. Xylem and phloem are absent.

Detailed explanation-4: -Non-vascular plants are those without a vascular system (that is they lack xylem and phloem ) and grow from spores. They do not have roots, stems, or leaves (although the lobes of some liverworts can look like leaves).

Detailed explanation-5: -Characteristics of Nonvascular Plants They not only lack vascular tissues; they also lack true leaves, seeds, and flowers. Instead of roots, they have hair-like rhizoids to anchor them to the ground and to absorb water and minerals (see Figure below).
