Detailed explanation-1: -The main difference between vascular and non-vascular plants is that vascular plants contain a specialized xylem and phloem tissues for the transportation of water and foods, while non-vascular plants do not contain specialized vascular tissues for transport.
Detailed explanation-2: -Vascular plants have xylem and phloem that transport water and nutrients to the rest of the plant. Nonvascular plants absorb nutrients and water directly into their cells.
Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -Nonvascular plants do not possess any special organs for the absorption and transport of water; instead, the plant cells absorb water and nutrients from their wet surroundings at their surface by diffusion and pass them from cell to cell.
