Answer: They are found close to the ground.

They use diffusion for nutrient transport.

Step-by-step explanation:

Non- vascular plants are the plants which do not posses a vascular system. They do not have vascular tissues called as xylem and phloem. Examples of non-vascular plants include bryophytes- liverworts, mosses and hornworts. They have simple tissues for the transport of water.

Among the options the following traits of non- vascular plants are:

They are found close to the ground.: The non-vascular plants lack vascular tissues, true roots stems and leaves. They directly absorb water and minerals directly from the soil. They grow as clumps and mats over the grounds.

They use diffusion for nutrient transport.: As the non-vascular plants lack vascular tissues they directly absorb the water and nutrients from the soil. As a result of this these plants are small and are limited to moist habitats. The transport of these nutrients takes place from cell to cell by diffusion and osmosis process.
