How do bryophytes differ from vascular plants?

Answer 1

The main difference is the absence of vascular system in bryophytes which is present in vascular plants.

True xylem and phloem, or the vascular system, are absent from bryophytes, whereas they are present in vascular plants.

In both, the sporophytic and gametophytic generational cycles alternate.

In vascular plants, on the other hand, the main plant is the sporophyte, and in bryophytes, the main plant is the gametophyte, and sporophyte is reduced and parasitic on the gametophyte, whether it be partial or complete.

In contrast to bryophytes, which lack vascular tissue, vascular plants have xylem and phloem in addition to true roots, stems, and leaves.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
