Question

The difference in water uptake methods between vascular and nonvascular plants affects the height, with vascular plants able to grow tall due to their efficient water transport system while nonvascular plants remain shorter due to their reliance on osmosis and capillary action.

, vascular plants are able to grow taller than nonvascular plants because they have a more efficient system for transporting water. Vascular plants have specialized tissues, such as xylem and phloem, that allow water to be transported from the roots to the rest of the plant. This allows them to take up water from the soil more efficiently and distribute it to their leaves. Nonvascular plants, on the other hand, rely on osmosis and capillary action to absorb water and nutrients. These methods are not as efficient as the specialized tissues found in vascular plants, which limits the height that nonvascular plants can reach.

Vascular plants can grow taller than nonvascular plants because they have a more efficient water transport system, while nonvascular plants rely on osmosis and capillary action and are therefore restricted in their height.
