Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Nonvascular plants get their water by ____
A
roots
B
cuticles
C
sterns
D
osmosis
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Mosses and liverworts are small, primitive, non-vascular plants. They lack the conductive tissue most plants use to transport water and nutrients. Instead, moisture is absorbed directly into cells by osmosis.

Detailed explanation-2: -Nonvascular plants do not possess any special organs for the absorption and transport of water; instead, the plant cells absorb water and nutrients from their wet surroundings at their surface by diffusion and pass them from cell to cell.

Detailed explanation-3: -Nonvascular plants are plants that do not have any special internal pipelines or channels to carry water and nutrients. Instead, nonvascular plants absorb water and minerals directly through their leaflike scales.

Detailed explanation-4: -In plants, osmosis means water molecules moving from cells that have lots of water to cells that have less water.

Detailed explanation-5: -How Do Nonvascular Plants Get Water? Vascular plants have xylem and phloem that transport water and nutrients to the rest of the plant. Nonvascular plants absorb nutrients and water directly into their cells.
