Detailed explanation-1: -The primary distinction between vascular and nonvascular plants is that vascular arteries transport water and food to all plant areas. The phloem is the vessel that delivers food, whereas the xylem transports water. A nonvascular plant, on the other hand, lacks a vascular system.

Detailed explanation-2: -Vascular plants are also known as ‘higher’ plants because they have systems of tubes that move food and water that make them grow to be higher than nonvascular plants.

Detailed explanation-3: -Key Differences Between Vascular and Nonvascular Plants Vascular plants grow larger due to their well-organized vascular system (phloem and xylem). Oppositely, non-vascular plants are relatively smaller in size.
