Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Nonvascular plants, such as mosses, lack true leaves, stems, and roots. Instead, they rely on diffusion to obtain necessary minerals and water. Their small size allows for efficient diffusion and they typically live in moist habitats where water is readily available. Therefore, both choices A and B are correct. Nonvascular plants do not have a thick cuticle to prevent water loss (choice C) and they are not parasitic plants (choice D).
