The main adaptations of nonvascular plants are;
-
The non-vascular plant usually grows in the moist and shady places.
-
The moist environment is essential for easy uptake of the water since they lack the vascular tissues like the xylem and the phloem.
-
The plants possess rhizoids, stem and leaf like structures.
-
In the non-vascular plants the gametophytic generation is prominent.
-
The sporophyte grows as a parasite on the gametophyte.
-
The water stored in plants evaporates slowly so that it maintains the moist environment.
-
They reproduce by both asexually and sexually.
