Detailed explanation-1: -Unlike many flowering plants, mosses don’t have a vascular system or structures like true roots. They get water and nutrients by directly absorbing them rather than having them get transported via a vascular system like in sunflowers. Mosses also need water to reproduce because the sperm must swim to the egg in water.
Detailed explanation-2: -This is because mosses are non-vascular, meaning they lack certain specialized tissues used for transporting water throughout their bodies. Unlike the ferns that also grow throughout the forest floor, mosses do not have true leaves, stems, or roots.
Detailed explanation-3: -The non-vascular plants usually grow very close to the ground for the easy uptake of water and also to get enough nutrients present in the ground for the life process. These plants do not have true roots for the uptake of water and minerals.
