Detailed explanation-1: -Vascular plants are efficient in growth and development due to the presence of vascular tissues: xylem and phloem. Xylem is responsible for the transport of water and nutrients from the roots to the rest of the plant. Phloem carries the sugars made in the leaves to the parts of the plant where they are needed.

Detailed explanation-2: -The two forms of vascular tissue-xylem and phloem, transport water, minerals, and photosynthetic products throughout the plant. An vascular plant, as opposed to a nonvascular plant, may grow significantly larger.

Detailed explanation-3: -Why Are Nonvascular Plants So Small? Nonvascular plants lack vascular tissue. Vascular tissue provides some type of support and structure to vascular plants. Nonvascular plants absorb water and nutrients from the ground so they remain close to the ground to access water.

Detailed explanation-4: -Vascular systems are able to allow plants to grow bigger due to the ability to transport nutrients and sugar over why distances. This also allows plants to live further away from water sources, and dominate early terrestrial environments. The vascular system of plants includes the xylem and the phloem.

Detailed explanation-5: -In all bryophytes, the primary plants are the haploid gametophytes, with the only diploid portion being the attached sporophyte, consisting of a stalk and sporangium. Because these plants lack lignified water-conducting tissues, they cannot become as tall as most vascular plants.
