Detailed explanation-1: -Nonvascular plants are a classification of plants that lack a vascular system, specifically the xylem and phloem that transport nutrients and water to the plant. Some algae, including green algae, are considered nonvascular. Hornworts, Liverworts, and Mosses are nonvascular plants called Bryophytes.

Detailed explanation-2: -Vascular plants: a plant that has tubes that carry water, nutrients, and food to different parts of the plant. 3. Nonvascular plant: a plant that does not have tubes.

Detailed explanation-3: -Mosses, liverworts and hornworts are collectively called “bryophytes.” Bryophytes are nonvascular plants: They do not have special tissues-tissues that botanists call “xylem” and “phloem”-to transport fluids and nutrients internally. Additionally, bryophytes do not produce flowers and seeds.
