1. Vascular plants: These plants have specialized tissues called xylem and phloem that transport water and nutrients throughout the plant. Vascular plants include trees, shrubs, ferns, and flowering plants.

2. Nonvascular plants: These plants lack specialized tissues for transport and instead rely on diffusion to move water and nutrients. Nonvascular plants typically grow in moist environments and include mosses, liverworts, and hornworts.

Here's a breakdown of the key differences:

| Feature | Vascular Plants | Nonvascular Plants |

|---|---|---|

| Transport System | Have xylem and phloem | Lack xylem and phloem, rely on diffusion |

| Size | Can grow tall and large | Typically small and low-lying |

| Habitat | Can live in diverse environments | Primarily live in moist environments |

| Examples | Trees, ferns, flowering plants | Mosses, liverworts, hornworts |
