Here's why:
* Vascular tissue is a specialized tissue that allows for the transport of water, nutrients, and sugars throughout the plant. There are two main types of vascular tissue:
* Xylem: Transports water and minerals from the roots to the rest of the plant.
* Phloem: Transports sugars produced in the leaves to other parts of the plant.
* Non-vascular plants lack this specialized tissue. They rely on diffusion and osmosis for the movement of water and nutrients, limiting their size and complexity.
Examples of vascular plants include trees, ferns, flowering plants, and conifers.
