Vascular plants are known as tracheophytes and include pteridophytes, gymnosperms and angiosperms, which have specialized vascular systems for transporting water and nutrients, unlike non-vascular plants. Plants also exhibit alternation of generations, where they have haploid and diploid phases, with the haploid phase being the gametophyte and the diploid phase being the sporophyte.

Non-vascular plants lack a specialised vascular system for transporting water and nutrients. They may contain simple structures that may specialise to perform transportation, e.g. algae and bryophytes.
In plants, alternation of generations exists,
where the members have haploid and diploid phases. The plant's haploid phase is called gametophyte and the diploid phase is called the sporophyte.
