Vascular plants are also known as tracheophytes.

They include pteridophytes, gymnosperms and angiosperms.

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.
