Vascular tissue is an arrangement of multiple cell types in vascular plants which allows for the transport of water, minerals, and products of photosynthesis to be transported throughout the plant. Non-vascular plants, such as some algae and moss, do not have vascular tissue and therefore cannot easily transport water and nutrients.
Vascular tissue is a complex conducting tissue, formed of more than one cell type, found in vascular plants. The primary components of vascular tissue are the xylem and phloem . These two tissues transport fluid and nutrients internally.
Vascular tissue is a specific type of tissue in plants that conduct water, minerals, and sugars to their different parts. In plants, they are xylem and phloem. Plants having a vascular system are called vascular plants .
A vascular plant is any one of a number of plants with specialized vascular tissue. The two types of vascular tissue, xylem and phloem, are responsible for moving water, minerals, and the products of photosynthesis throughout the plant.
The vascular system of plants consists of the xylem and phloem. They are somewhat like blood vessels in animals, but plants transport materials using two tissues rather than one. Here is a look at what xylem and phloem are, what they transport, and how they work.
Vascular system, in vascular plants, assemblage of conducting tissues and associated supportive fibers that transport nutrients and fluids throughout the plant body. The two primary vascular tissues are xylem and phloem.
Xylem and phloem form the vascular system of plants to transport water and other substances throughout the plant. Xylem transports and stores water and water-soluble nutrients in vascular plants. Phloem is responsible for transporting sugars, proteins, and other organic molecules in plants.
There are two vascular tissues in the vascular tissue system: xylem for water transport and phloem for transport of photosynthates. The xylem is a complex tissue containing a range of cell types including: vessel cells, tracheids, fibers, parenchyma. Figure 2.8.

Vascular tissues form an efficient fluid conducting system that stretches throughout the entire plant body. Besides providing long-distance transport of water, sugars, nutrients, hormones and other signaling molecules, it also contributes to mechanical support.
Vascular tissues provide mechanical support and facilitate the transport of water, nutrients, hormones and other signalling molecules throughout the plant. These functions...
