This document provides a summary of vascular and nonvascular plants. It begins by explaining that nonvascular plants lack true roots, stems, and leaves, and rely on diffusion rather than transport tissues. They include mosses, liverworts, and hornworts. The document then discusses the characteristics and life cycles of seedless vascular plants like ferns and horsetails, noting they disperse via spores. The majority of the document focuses on vascular plants, describing their specialized tissues, main plant parts including roots, stems, and leaves, and how they are able to grow taller than nonvascular plants due to transport tissues. It concludes by differentiating between gymnosperms and angiosperms, the two groups of seed plants.
