Q: Which of the following groups of plants is classified as non-vascular?
Solution: Mosses are classified as non-vascular plants because they lack specialized tissues for water and nutrient transport.
Steps: 4
Step 1: Understand what non-vascular plants are. Non-vascular plants do not have specialized tissues (like xylem and phloem) to transport water and nutrients.
Step 2: Identify examples of non-vascular plants. Common examples include mosses, liverworts, and hornworts.
Step 3: Look at the options given in the question. Check if any of the options include mosses or other known non-vascular plants.
Step 4: Confirm that mosses are indeed non-vascular because they do not have the specialized tissues for transport.
