How do nutrients move through nonvascular plants?
A
Along stems
B
From cell to cell
C
Through leaves
D
Through roots
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Passive osmosis is used by nonvascular plants to transport materials to internal cells. Rhizoids are used to transport nutrients and minerals. Plants excrete waste through the use of their leaves.

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.

Detailed explanation-3: -They don’t have true leaves, stems, or roots, but they do have a dominant part of the plant called the gametophyte that can photosynthesize. Nonvascular plants absorb water through their root-like structures called rhizoids, and they rely on osmosis to transport water from cell to cell.

Detailed explanation-4: -Nonvascular plants are also known as bryophytes. Examples of nonvascular plants include mosses, hornworts and liverworts. These small plants typically spend their lives in moist environments where they are able to absorb water and nutrients directly through the surface of the plant.
