The cells in vascular and non vascular plants are both able to get water, but nonvascular plants have different methods than vascular plants. How do these differences affect the height of the plants? In 3-5 sentences, explain this and be sure to describe how each type of plant gets water to its cells. WRITE THIS IN KID’S WORDS PLZ
Vascular plants have special tubes called xylem that help them to transport water from the roots to the rest of the plant. This allows them to grow taller because the water can be taken up from the roots and sent all the way up to the leaves. Nonvascular plants, on the other hand, do not have these special tubes, so they have to rely on different ways to get water to their cells. They often grow close to the ground or in damp environments where they can absorb water directly through their leaves or stems. This makes it harder for them to grow very tall because they can't transport water as efficiently as vascular plants.
