DENDROLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Nonvascular plants lack true roots, instead, they have hair-like fibrous appendages called rhizoids. Rhizoids stabilize and anchor bryophytes to the ground or substrate they grow on(trees, logs, rocks).

Detailed explanation-2: -Non-vascular plants grow closer to the ground because they cannot transfer nutrients and water up to other areas of the organism.

Detailed explanation-3: -Nonvascular plants, or Bryophytes (liverworts, mosses, and hornworts) are, in many ways, physically tied to water. Their major adaptions to life on land include a waxy cuticle and root-like structures (rhizoids).
