Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which statement about vascular plants is NOT true?
A
They can grow to be quite large.
B
They have tissue that carries food.
C
They are much smaller than nonvascular plants.
D
They absorb water through roots.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Nonvascular plants are very small because their lack of a vascular system means they do not have the mechanics required for transporting food and water far distances. Another characteristic of nonvascular plants that sets them apart from vascular plants is that they lack roots.

Detailed explanation-2: -Non vascular plants reproduce with sports rather than seeds. Non vascular plants have extensive vascular tissue. Non vascular plants only produce large in the gamma divide stage. So option B is correct over here, enormous for the plants reproduce with spores rather than seeds.

Detailed explanation-3: -Non-vascular plants are tender and shorter than vascular plants due to the unavailability of water-conducting tissue. The prominent life cycle in vascular plants is the sporophyte, where they produce spores that are diploid.
