Detailed explanation-1: -Nonvascular plants belong to the division Bryophyta, which includes mosses, liverworts, and hornworts. These plants have no vascular tissue, so the plants cannot retain water or deliver it to other parts of the plant body.
Detailed explanation-2: -Mosses are non-vascular plants with about 12, 000 species classified in the Bryophyta. Unlike vascular plants, mosses lack xylem and absorb water and nutrients mainly through their leaves.
Detailed explanation-3: -They lack fully developed vascular tissue. They do not have true roots rather they have a root-like structure known as rhizoid. They originate from lower epidermal cells of bryophytes. They are similar in function to root as it helps in the absorption of water.
