DENDROLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Passive osmosis is used by nonvascular plants to transport materials to internal cells. Rhizoids are used to transport nutrients and minerals.

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: -How Do Nonvascular Plants Get Water? Vascular plants have xylem and phloem that transport water and nutrients to the rest of the plant. Nonvascular plants absorb nutrients and water directly into their cells.

Detailed explanation-4: -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.
