|
Nonvascular plants cannot live in as many areas as vascular plants, so they stay small.
|
|
|
Nonvascular plants do not reproduce as quickly as vascular plants do, so they do not grow as large.
|
|
|
Vascular plants live in areas where they can get more water than nonvascular plants can.
|
|
|
Vascular tissue carries water and nutrients much more efficiently than can be carried by diffusion.
|
Detailed explanation-1: -Vascular plants are efficient in growth and development due to the presence of vascular tissues: xylem and phloem . Xylem is responsible for the transport of water and nutrients from the roots to the rest of the plant. Phloem carries the sugars made in the leaves to the parts of the plant where they are needed.
Detailed explanation-2: -Seedless vascular plants have vascular tissue but do not have seeds. Remember that vascular tissue is specialized tissue that transports water and nutrients throughout the plant. The development of vascular tissue allowed these plants to grow much taller than nonvascular plants, forming ancient swamp forests.
Detailed explanation-3: -Due to vascular plants being more efficient in transporting water and nutrients, plants can grow larger and support various structures such as complex leaves, flowers, and intricate root structures. Plants like liverworts and hornworts are not vascular plants due to a lack of vascular tissue.
