Answer:

Some bryophytes such as mosses and algae often lack these two features. Examples include mosses, liverworts, and hornworts.

Plants that lack xylem and phloem are known as non-vascular plants. These types of plants do not have specialized tissues to transport water and nutrients throughout themselves. As a result, they tend to be smaller in size and are typically found in wet environments where they can easily absorb nutrients and water from their surrounding environment.
