MOSSES AND LIVERWORTS
With no vascular tissues, mosses thrive in areas of high moisture. These are the little ones. The most important feature of mosses and liverworts is that they have no vascular system.

That vascular system of xylem and phloem allows redwood and sequoia trees to grow to over one hundred feet tall.
