Answer #1
  1. Like many other developed plants, mosses do not have normal/true roots with xylem and phloem.
  2. Since there are no conductive tissues, they obtain nutrients using their whole body from the environment.
  3. Some mosses obtain water and minerals directly from the soil or any substrate where they grows eg. Polyhtrichum
  4. There are some mosses which possess fine absorptive surfaces, which sequester nutrients from the water flowing over them.
