Detailed explanation-1: -Nonvascular plants absorb water and nutrients from the ground so they remain close to the ground to access water.
Detailed explanation-2: -They lack a vascular system (plumbing system) to move water and nutrients throughout the plant. For this reason, they grow close to the ground to absorb water and nutrients. Seedless plants also rely on free-standing water for reproduction. A sperm produced by a male must swim through rainwater or dew to reach an egg.
Detailed explanation-3: -These small plants grow in aquatic environments, as well as in moist, shaded land habitats. Hornworts differ from mosses and liverworts in that their plant cells have a single chloroplast per cell. Moss and liverwort cells have many chloroplasts per cell.
