Ferns:vascular tissue and also true roots, stems, and leave, have waxy covering(cuticle) to prevent water loss..Ferns have stomata and guard cells to regulate gases exchange.

Mosses: nonvascular and lack all of those characteristics.They have lignin and cellulose in cell walls. long lived spores to prevent against dicissation(drying out).
