Nonvascular Plant

A low-growing plant that lacks true vascular tissue, like moss

Real World Example

Imagine trying to water a garden that's spread out across a large area with only a small watering can. Just as you have to carefully water each part of the garden because the water doesn’t naturally move from one end to the other, a nonvascular plant like moss struggles to transport water and nutrients throughout its structure due to the lack of a vascular system. In both cases, whether it's a garden or a plant, the challenge is distributing resources across a wide area without an efficient transport system, much like how moss relies on its close proximity to water sources to survive and thrive, similar to how you would need to move around with your watering can to nourish each plant.
