Detailed explanation-1: -Nonvascular plants (often referred to collectively as the bryophytes) include three groups: the mosses (Bryophyta), approximately 15, 000 species; liverworts (Hepaticophyta), approximately 7500 species; and hornworts (Anthocerophyta), approximately 250 species (Table 1).

Detailed explanation-2: -Mosses, hornworts, and liverworts are nonvascular plants called Bryophytes. There are an estimated 17, 000 species of bryophytes and occupy almost every habitat type. Some species of algae are also considered nonvascular plants, particularly green algae.

Detailed explanation-3: -Examples of nonvascular plants include mosses or Bryophytes, liverworts or Hepaticophyta, and hornworts or Anthocerophyta. Is moss a nonvascular plant? Yes, mosses belong to the group of nonvascular plants called Bryophytes. They are autotrophs and produce their food by photosynthesis.
