The statement that best describes the main difference between vascular and nonvascular plants is:

Vascular plants have specialized tissues to transport water and nutrients, while nonvascular plants do not.

Vascular plants possess a vascular system (xylem and phloem) that aids in the transportation of water and nutrients, while nonvascular plants lack this system and typically rely on diffusion and osmosis for the transport of substances.
