Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Nonvascular plants lack an efficient system for conducting water and minerals, which limits their ability to transport nutrients throughout their bodies. This limits their size and overall growth potential compared to vascular plants, which have specialized tissues for conducting water and minerals. The other answer choices (photosynthetic mechanism, efficient mode of respiration, and nutrient/water absorption mechanisms) are not the main limiting factors for nonvascular plant size.
