why do nonvascular plants need to live in moist environments and are usually short?
A
they do not have vascular tissues to absorb water
B
they have magical powers
C
all other habitats have been destroyed
D
it is more cozy
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The non-vascular plants grow in moist environments. It is due to lack of vascular tissue that requires to maintain close contact with water to prevent desiccation.

Detailed explanation-2: -Because their sperm typically require water to reach an egg, nonvascular plants are often found in moist habitats and reproduce more successfully close to other members of their species. In a typical bryophyte, haploid spores produced by the sporophyte will grow via mitosis to form a haploid gametophyte.

Detailed explanation-3: -They lack the conductive tissue most plants use to transport water and nutrients. Instead, moisture is absorbed directly into cells by osmosis.

Detailed explanation-4: -Nonvascular plants include liverworts, hornworts, and mosses. They lack roots, stems, and leaves. Nonvascular plants are low-growing, reproduce with spores, and need a moist habitat.
