Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Nonvascular plants remain small in size and cannot grow tall because they have no vascular system. Vascular plants can grow large and tall. Nonvascular plants are the mosses, hornworts, and liverworts.
Detailed explanation-2: -Mosses and liverworts are small, primitive, non-vascular plants. They lack the conductive tissue most plants use to transport water and nutrients. Instead, moisture is absorbed directly into cells by osmosis.
