Detailed explanation-1: -Nonvascular Plants. 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-2: -Non-vascular plants include two distantly related groups: Bryophytes, an informal group that taxonomists now treat as three separate land-plant divisions, namely: Bryophyta (mosses), Marchantiophyta (liverworts), and Anthocerotophyta (hornworts).
Detailed explanation-3: -Nonvascular plants include mosses, hornworts, and liverworts (as well as some species of algae). Splendid feather moss is an example of moss. Field hornworts are an example of hornworts and Umbrella liverworts are an example of liverworts.
