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)

Vascular plants have specialized tissues, called xylem and phloem, that transport water and nutrients throughout the plant. This allows for more efficient transport and supports taller growth. Nonvascular plants, however, rely on osmosis and diffusion to move water and nutrients from cell to cell. This limits their ability to grow tall, as they cannot transport water as efficiently as vascular plants.
simply please
Vascular plants have special tubes that help them move nutrients and water around, making them able to grow taller. Nonvascular plants don't have these tubes, so they have to rely on moving nutrients from cell to cell, which makes them grow shorter.
