Question

non vascular plants include ?

Answer 1

Hi there,

your non vascular plants comprise three main groups - the liverworts, the hornworts, and your mosses.

Though these three groups may seem pretty disparate, you have some basic characteristics linking them all - dominant gametophyte generation, lack of tissue, generally are smaller and must stick by water sources (e.g., swamps).

Answer 2

They also have flagellated sperm (again, a reminder of their water-dependent lifestyles).

Here are some scientific names - liverworts are known as hepatophytes, hornworts as anthocerophytes, and mosses as bryophytes. This is from Raven's Biology of Plants (my copy might be a bit outdated though).
