    Difference Between Vascular and Nonvascular Plants

    Uploaded by

    Dat Hoang
    Vascular plants have true leaves, stems, roots and a vascular system to transport water and nutrients throughout the plant. They are typically larger and can grow in more areas. Non-vascular plants are smaller without true stems or leaves and rely on diffusion rather than a vascular system for transport. They are typically found in damp environments. Examples of vascular plants include angiosperms, gymnosperms, and ferns while non-vascular plant examples include mosses and green algae.

    Vascular Plants Definition


    Vascular plants, also known as tracheophytes, are plants found on land that have lignified
    tissues for conducting water and minerals throughout the body of the plant.

    Non-vascular Plants Definition


    Non-vascular plants, also known as bryophytes or lower plants, are plants mostly found in
    damp and moist areas and lack specialized vascular tissues.

    Examples for Vascular Plants : Angiosperms (thực vật hạt kín) , Gymnosperms (thực vật hạt trần) ,
    Ferns (cây dương xỉ) , Pines ( cây thông) , Grass ( cỏ) , Sunflowers (hoa hướng dương),…

    Examples for Non-Vascular Plants: moss (rêu),Green algae (tảo lục),…..
