Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Bryophytes is the informal group name for mosses, liverworts and hornworts. They are non-vascular plants, which means they have no roots or vascular tissue, but instead absorb water and nutrients from the air through their surface (e.g., their leaves).
Detailed explanation-2: -The height of mosses is limited by the fact that they are non-vascular plants and therefore cannot transport water and nutrients throughout their structures.
