Nonvascular Plants

• Have NO tubes to transport needed nutrients

• Reproduce ONLY with Spores

• Usually small to make it easier for all cells to get nutrients without a tube system (move materials cell to cell)

• Usually live near water or in damp/humid places to make it easier to get water (no true roots with tubes to soak up water)
