Answer:

They have no vascular system.

Explanation:

Vascular system contains an important feature they have series of tubes which helps to transport nutrients, and water over a distance in plants. The vascular system of phloem, and xylem allows trees (such as redwood) to grow a hundred feet tall.

Mosses do not have vascular system. Without the vascular system liverworts, and mosses are not able to grow large. Mosses are rarely one inch in height. Mosses are small flowerless waxy plants with no stem, and leaves.

Place in order the correct sequence by which water flows through plants
kotykmax [81]

Answer:

The correct sequence is - 2, 3, 4, 1.

Explanation:

The movement of the water takes place in the plant from the soil and moves up to leaves and from there to the atmosphere. Root hairs help in the absorption of the water from the soil with help of the epidermis of root hairs. Water then takes the path from the root to the stem with help of cortical cells.

Once the water reaches the endodermis or endodermal cell the water freely flow in the xylem cell upwards the stem moves to leaves by the transpiration stream. In the process of transpiration, an excess amount of water evaporates into the atmosphere.
