Taya observed a plant that is small and grows close to the ground because it does not have the water transport structures required to grow taller.Which plant phylum did this plant most likely belong to?

Mosses are nonvascular plants, meaning they lack the water-transport tissues that help plants move water through taller stems. As a result, they usually stay small and grow close to the ground. Conifers, ferns, and flowering plants have vascular tissues, so mosses are the best match.
