Q

Why are bryophytes (non-vascular plants) limited to a small body size.

A

They stay small because in order to increase inn size, they need a way to transfer liquids and the like around their organ systems but can’t without some kind of vascular system.

Q

How does the reproduction of bryophytes and seedless vascular plants depend on water.

A

Unlike in more evolved plants, the sperm have to travel to the egg via water surrounding and on the plants. They are not seed producing yet and thus don’t have a way to transfer their gametangia in a different manner.
