How do the size of moss moss fern plants differ?
Ferns are vascular plants. They contain vascular strands that allow water and nutrients to be transferred throughout the the plant. Mosses lack the vascular strands(or tissue) causing the mosses to have a much smaller stature because they are not able to transfer nutrients very well.
Ferns are more advanced than mosses because mosses lack which structure found in ferns?
Ferns are considered more advanced than mosses because they have vascular tissues like xylem and phloem, which mosses lack. Vascular tissues allow ferns to transport water and nutrients more efficiently throughout the plant, enabling them to grow taller and have more complex structures. This gives ferns an evolutionary advantage over mosses in terms of size and complexity.
Why bryophytes not grow taller as the ferns in spore producing plant?
Bryophytes (such as mosses) do not grow as tall as ferns because they lack vascular tissues like xylem and phloem, which limits their ability to transport water and nutrients efficiently. This restricts their ability to grow taller and limits their overall size compared to ferns, which have more developed vascular systems.
Why do plants grow taller and thicker than mosses?
Beacause they have a tube to carry food and water, while mosses do not
What plants don't grow from seeds?
Plants like ferns, mosses, and liverworts can reproduce through spores instead of seeds. Some plants, such as bananas and pineapples, reproduce through vegetative propagation, where new plants grow from shoots or other vegetative parts of the parent plant.
