starting botany

We have been starting a study in botany for science. It is interesting because I am learning about both vascular plants and non-vascular plants.

Vascular means that the plant has veins, which are not like ours that pump blood. Plant veins carry water and other nutrients to the plant. Most plants are vascular plants.

There are only a few non-vascular plants. Moss is one of them. Moss usually grows on trees and rocks. These plants get water by absorbing it like a paper towel. The water spreads to as much of the plant as it can. If the water can't spread to all the parts of the plant it will dry up and maybe die. We are going on a nature walk tomorrow to look for moss.
