Non-vascular plants are plants without a vascular system consisting of xylem and phloem. Instead, they may possess simpler tissues that have specialized functions for the internal transport of water. [citation needed] Non-vascular plants include two distantly related groups: treat as three separate land-plant divisions, namely: Bryophyta ...
Botanists define vascular plants by three primary characteristics: Vascular plants have vascular tissues which distribute resources through the plant.
