Lesson Summary. Nonvascular plants, also known as bryophytes, are small, simple plants without a vascular system. They are divided into three different types, including mosses, liverworts, and hornworts.osses are the nonvascular plants that are most commonly seen covering the forest floor or covering the trunks of trees. Most mosses have a short central stem with wiry branches and very small leaf-like structures.
Gymnosperms were the first seed plants. They do not make flowers or fruits though, so their seeds are unprotected. This is how they got their name, which means naked seed.. Even as the seedless vascular plants were having their heyday 300 million years ago, seed plants evolved and started new trends in the plant world. These seed plants had a few characteristics that made them different than the seedless plants, and also more successful in a variety of environments. Evolution by natural selection favors traits that are advantageous for survival and reproduction. Plants with seeds had some major advantages over plants without seeds: â¢ Wind-dispersed pollen doesn't need water for fertilization â¢ The seed protects the embryo from drying out â¢ The seed gives nutrients to the embryo, which helps early plant growth Since sperm no longer need water to fertilize the egg, plants with pollen can reproduce at more times during the year and in drier habitats.
