B
Vascular plants do not have roots.

Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the basic definitions: Vascular plants have specialized tissues called xylem and phloem for transporting water and nutrients, while nonvascular plants do not have these tissues.
Recognize the characteristics of nonvascular plants: They typically lack roots, stems, and leaves, and rely on direct water absorption through their surfaces.
Identify the growth limitations: Nonvascular plants are generally smaller and grow close to the ground due to the absence of vascular tissues, which limits their ability to transport water and nutrients efficiently.
Clarify the reproduction methods: Nonvascular plants do not produce seeds; instead, they reproduce via spores.
Compare the structural differences: Vascular plants have roots, stems, and leaves, which allow them to grow taller and transport nutrients effectively, unlike nonvascular plants.
