nonvascular plants are plants that not have vascular tissue to transport water and nutrients inside itself. It's a lack of these tissues that cause nonvascular plants to only be able to feed and drink when their environment provides direct contact with the plants.

Nearly all earth’s plant life are usually vascular plants, including all flowering and fruiting plants, along with any plant with a woody exterior.

Therefore, there are hardly any members of the non vascular plant family, including only mosses, liverworts, hornworts, and algae.

Although some nonvascular plants appear to have leaves, these leaves are misleading, and so are not true leaves. on vascular plants are believed and sometimes referred to as “lower plants”. In this context, “lower plant” refers to their order of appearance on earth, rather than their physical height. You will need to note that not all “lower plants” are non vascular plants. Often times ferns as well as other vascular plants are known as “lower plants” which can oftentimes cause confusion.

This can be among the reasons the word “nonvascular plants” is no longer trusted in the scientific community.

Another popular point of confusion is whether fungi can be a non vascular plant, since it turns out it is not. It is now widely accepted that these fungi have a very different biology from non vascular plants.

You will find 3 main distinctions between non vascular plants and non vascular plants, and it is these following distinctions that make every bit of big difference.
