Lycophytes, also known as club mosses, were the first group of plants to have well-developed vascular tissue. This allowed them to grow taller than non-vascular plants and transport water and nutrients throughout their bodies more efficiently. Bryophytes (such as mosses) are non-vascular plants, while ferns and gymnosperms evolved later than lycophytes. Charophytes are aquatic green algae and do not have vascular tissue.
