Which statements describe traits of nonvascular plants? Check all that apply.

They use roots and stems for nutrient transport.

They are found close to the ground.

They have seeds for reproduction.

They produce flowers.

They use diffusion for nutrient transport.

Answer;

They are found close to the ground.

They use diffusion for nutrient transport.

Explanation;

Non-vascular plants are also referred to as bryophytes and are divided into three different types, including mosses, liverworts, and hornworts.

They have the following characteristics;

They lack a vascular tissue system for transporting water and nutrients. They do not produce flowers, fruits, or seeds. They also lack true leaves, roots, and stems. Instead, these plants have leaf-like, stem-like, and root-like structures that function similarly to leaves, stems, and roots. They alternate between sexual and asexual phases in their life cycles. etc

Answer: They are found close to the ground.

They use diffusion for nutrient transport.

Explanation:

Non - vascular plants are the plants which do not posses a vascular system. They do not have vascular tissues called as xylem and phloem. Examples of non-vascular plants include bryophytes - liverworts, mosses and hornworts. They have simple tissues for the transport of water.

Among the options the following traits of non - vascular plants are:

They are found close to the ground.: The non-vascular plants lack vascular tissues, true roots stems and leaves. They directly absorb water and minerals directly from the soil. They grow as clumps and mats over the grounds.

They use diffusion for nutrient transport.: As the non-vascular plants lack vascular tissues they directly absorb the water and nutrients from the soil. As a result of this these plants are small and are limited to moist habitats. The transport of these nutrients takes place from cell to cell by diffusion and osmosis process.
