The cells in vascular and nonvascular 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 three to five sentences, explain this and be sure to describe how each type of plant gets water to its cells.(4 points) two short sentences
Nonvascular plants like mosses and liverworts absorb water through their entire plant body, including their leaves and stems. This allows them to absorb water directly from their surroundings, but limits their height because water can only travel through diffusion.
In contrast, vascular plants like trees and flowers have specialized tissues that transport water and nutrients throughout the plant. This allows them to grow taller because water can be efficiently transported from the roots to the leaves through the xylem. The vascular system also allows for the distribution of resources to various parts of the plant, supporting its growth and development.
