Nonvascular plants ____
A
take the water through its roots
B
takes water in through condensation
C
takes the water in through its surrounding environment
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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.

Detailed explanation-2: -Because they don’t have vascular tissue, the absorbed water and nutrients are only available to the parts of the plant that are adjacent to the point of absorption. Water is available immediately to cells in the area it was absorbed, but is not available to the rest of the plant. Bryophytes do not have roots.

Detailed explanation-3: -Antheridia and archegonia may occur on the same gametophyte or on separate male and female gametophytes. Male gametes in the nonvascular plants have motile sperm and are dependent on water for dispersal to the female gametes, which are nonmotile eggs retained in the archegonia on the gametophyte.
