5. Mosses and liverworts are examples of non-tracheophytes because they lack a vascular system.
6. Tracheophytes are able to grow taller than non-vascular plants due to their vascular system.
7. The roots, stems, and leaves of tracheophytes are interconnected by their vascular system.
8. Tracheophytes have adaptations to survive in various environments, such as deserts or rainforests.
9. The earliest tracheophytes appeared in the fossil record around 425 million years ago.
