A key characteristic distinguishing bryophytes from flowering plants is the absence of vascular tissue (xylem and phloem). This means bryophytes lack true roots, stems, and leaves, and must absorb water and nutrients directly through their surfaces, limiting their size and growth. Flowering plants, in contrast, have a well-developed vascular system to transport water and nutrients efficiently, allowing them to grow much larger.
