Detailed explanation-1: -Mosses do not have xylem and phloem, because they are non-vascular plants. Xylem and phloem are the vessels that make up the vascular tissue inside vascular plants, which represent the majority of plants.
Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -The apoplasmic transport in most mosses is via water-conducting cells known as hydroids. These cells have unevenly thickened walls in the Polytrichopsida, while those present in the Bryopsida are uniformly thin walled (Hébant, 1977; Ligrone et al., 2000; Ligrone and Duckett, 2011).
Detailed explanation-4: -Physical Characteristics The stems are weak and free standing, and are usually greenish to brown colored. It reproduces by spores (since no seeds are found). The sporophytes are short lived and have long, unbranched stems. They are mostly dependent on the gametophyte for water and nutrition.
