Nonvascular Plants
Nonvascular plants are a group of plants that lack vascular tissues which are responsible for transporting water and nutrients throughout the body. These plants rely on other mechanisms for the movement of water and nutrients, such as diffusion. Nonvascular plants are important for the environment in that they are often the pioneering species to colonize newly exposed land. They are also used to stabilize soils, prevent erosion, and provide habitats for animals. Nonvascular plants also have agricultural, restoration, and ornamental uses, making them an indispensable part of our world.
