Bryophytes are all embryophytes ('land plants') that are non-vascular: they have tissues and enclosed reproductive systems, but they lack vascular tissue that circulates liquids. They neither have flowers nor produce seeds, reproducing via spores. The term bryophyte comes from Greek βρύον - bryon, "tree-moss, oyster-green" + φυτόν - fyton "plant".

A. All bryophytes are quite short. The reason for this is that they lack vascular tissue. The way that water travels in these plants is osmosis, a type of simple diffusion. I have higlighted the words water and transport on this source:
