Final Answer :
Nonvascular plants have rootlike, stemlike, and leaflike structures. The gametophyte is the dominant generation. Flagellated sperm swim in a continuous film of water to reach the egg. The sporophyte is attached to the gametophyte and receives its nourishment from it. They also protect the embryo from drying out.
