OBJECTIVE FORESTRY

Detailed explanation-1: -Most bryophytes are small. They not only lack vascular tissues; they also lack true leaves, seeds, and flowers. Instead of roots, they have hair-like rhizoids to anchor them to the ground and to absorb water and minerals (see Figure below).

Detailed explanation-2: -As they lack vascular tissue, they also do not have true roots, stems, or leaves. Nonvascular plants do often have a “leafy” appearance, though, and they can have stem-like and root-like structures. These plants are very short because they cannot move nutrients and water up a stem.

Detailed explanation-3: -Bryophytes have no roots, leaves or stems. Moss and liverworts belong to this group.

Detailed explanation-4: -Nonvascular plants lack differentiated tissues like vascular tissues, which separate them from vascular plants that have vascular tissues to transport nutrients and water. They also lack stems, roots, and leaves. But they have stem-like, root-like, and leaf-like structures that work just like stem, roots, and leaves.
