Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Nonvascular plants, also known as bryophytes, do not have a vascular system to transport water and nutrients. Instead, they rely on diffusion and osmosis to obtain what they need. They are typically small in size, with no true roots. Some may have rhizoids, which are root-like structures that anchor the plant in place but do not aid in water or nutrient absorption. Therefore, an extensive root system, as described in choice D, is not a characteristic of nonvascular plants.
