Q. What does a Rhizoid do for nonvascular plants?
Lesson Summary Bryophytes are a group of nonvascular plants that includes mosses, liverworts, and hornworts. Rhizoids are the tiny structures that stick out from the roots of bryophytes. Rhizoids absorb water and nutrients from the soil through the process of capillary action.
Q. How do nonvascular plants get water?
Nonvascular plants are plants that do not have any special internal pipelines or channels to carry water and nutrients. Instead, nonvascular plants absorb water and minerals directly through their leaflike scales. Nonvascular plants are usually found growing close to the ground in damp, moist places.

Q. Which of the following plants is non vascular?
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| bryophyte | Type of plant that lacks vascular tissues, such as a liverwort, hornwort, or moss. |
| hornworts | Minute nonvascular plants that have very fine rhizoids and long and pointed sporophytes, like tiny horns; a division of bryophyte plants. |
Q. Is Mint a vascular plant?

Q. Are daisies vascular or nonvascular?
Vascular plants, like the daisy, are covered with a waxy layer, or cuticle, that holds in water, and they have pores called stomata that help them take in and let out gasses like carbon dioxide and oxygen.
Q. Are onions vascular?
Monocots are one of the two major types of flowering plants, and are characterized by having a single cotyledon, or seed leaf. Grains, grasses, bamboo and onions are all examples of monocots. Xylem is vascular tissue that carries water and nutrients from roots to the other parts of a plant.
Q. Are vascular plants bigger?
These special tubes, the xylem and phloem, are part of what enable vascular plants to grow larger than nonvascular plants. Vascular plants have stems, roots, leaves, and can have flowers and grow tall. They don’t have leaves and can’t get super big like vascular plants.
