About the habitat that support nonvascular plants

Introduction:

Plants are important to our survival. The oxygen we breathe, the food we eat, and many of the things that make our lives comfortable. Plants are multicellular eukaryotes with tissues and organs that have specialized structures and functions. Plants that inhabited land developed adaptations that helped them survive limited water resources as well as other environmental factors.

Explanation of Solution

Nonvascular plants make up one of the four major groups of plants that evolved along with green algae from a common ancestor. In general, nonvascular plants usually are small, which enables materials to move within them easily. These plants often are found growing in damp, shady areas which is an environment that provides water needed by nonvascular plants for nutrient transport and reproduction.

Conclusion

Therefore, it can be concluded that the habitat that support nonvascular plant should be damp, shady areas.
