Vascular plants have xylem and phloem tissues that transport water and nutrients throughout the plant. Nonvascular plants like mosses and liverworts lack these tissues and have a simpler structure with only one cell layer thick. The activity has students cut out pictures of different plants and sort them into columns labeled "Vascular" or "Nonvascular" based on whether they have xylem and phloem tissues.
