Detailed explanation-1: -Vascular plants are able to grow taller than nonvascular plants because they have more lignin in their cell walls. 2. They can live in drier areas than nonvascular plants because the cell walls of vascular plants are less permeable to water.

Detailed explanation-2: -Seedless vascular plants contain vascular tissue, but they do not produce flowers or seeds. They are divided into four types: club mosses, whisk ferns, true ferns, and horsetails.

Detailed explanation-3: -VASCULAR PLANTS WITHOUT SEEDS Vascular plants (tracheophytes): Vascular tissue provides support that holds plants erect and allows them to grow much taller, also allowing transport of materials from one part to another.

Detailed explanation-4: -Diversity of Nonvascular Plants Their rhizoids are very fine, they lack stems, and they are generally less than 10 centimeter s (4 inches) tall. They often grow in colonies that carpet the ground.
