Nonvascular Plant

A low-growing plant that lacks true vascular tissue, like moss

Real World Example

Imagine trying to get groceries from your car to your kitchen without any bags or carts to help carry them. This is like how nonvascular plants, such as moss, must absorb water and nutrients directly from their surroundings without the help of specialized transport systems. Just as you need to make multiple trips to carry the groceries by hand, mosses rely on direct contact with moisture, lacking the "vascular highways" of tubes and vessels that larger plants use to efficiently move resources throughout their structure.
