14. What type of environment(s) would you find a non vascular plant? What type of environment(s) would/ could you find a vascular plant?

Vascular plants can move water throughout the entire plant due to the vascular tissue in which it is composed of. 15. What are the two major stages in the plant life cycle? What occurs in each? Sporophyte ( spores are formed in the plant) and __________________________________ Gametophyte( spores mature into egg and sperm cell which will unite to form a fert. egg)
