HORTICULTURE

Detailed explanation-1: -They do not possess vascular tissues (xylem and phloem ) that function in the conduction of food, water, and minerals. Due to the lack of vascular tissues, water and nutrients cannot be transported to long distances so they can not grow tall.

Detailed explanation-2: -Because these plants lack lignified water-conducting tissues, they cannot become as tall as most vascular plants. Algae, especially green algae. The algae consist of several unrelated groups.

Detailed explanation-3: -They absorb water from their surfaces by capillarity. The “leaves” of leafy liverworts and mosses are undifferentiated tissues and lack stomata, and the moss “stems” lack vascular tissues.
