  • Moss: The Non-Vascular Plant Without Specialized Transport Tissues
    The plant that doesn't have special tissues to deliver food and water to its cells is moss.

    Here's why:

    * Mosses are non-vascular plants. This means they lack the specialized tissues that vascular plants have for transporting fluids:

    * Xylem: Carries water and minerals from the roots to the rest of the plant.

    * Phloem: Carries sugars produced by photosynthesis from the leaves to other parts of the plant.

    * Mosses rely on diffusion: They absorb water and nutrients directly from their surroundings through their surface cells. This limits their size and restricts them to moist environments.

    Other examples of non-vascular plants include:

    * Liverworts

    * Hornworts
