The cells in vascular and nonvascular plants are both able to get water, but nonvascular plants
have different methods than vascular plants. How do these differences affect the height of the
plants? In three to five sentences, explain this and be sure to describe how each type of plant
gets water to its cells. (4 points)

, the height of vascular plants is generally greater than that of nonvascular plants due to their ability to transport water and nutrients through specialized tissues called xylem and phloem.
Vascular plants obtain water through their roots, which have root hairs that increase surface area for water absorption. Water is then transported upwards through the xylem tissue to reach the leaves and other parts of the plant. Vascular plants can grow taller because water can be moved efficiently throughout their entire body.
In contrast, nonvascular plants rely on simple diffusion to obtain water. They lack specialized tissues for water transport and instead absorb water directly through their cell walls. Due to the limitations of diffusion, nonvascular plants tend to be small in size and have a limited ability to transport water, which restricts their height.

Nonvascular plants tend to be shorter in height compared to vascular plants. This is because nonvascular plants do not have specialized tissues such as xylem and phloem to efficiently transport water and nutrients throughout their bodies. Instead, they rely on simple diffusion to obtain water, which restricts their ability to grow taller. In contrast, vascular plants have the advantage of specialized tissues that enable them to transport water efficiently, allowing them to grow to greater heights.
