Answer

  • The vascular tissues include xylem, which conducts water and minerals from the roots upward and throughout the plant, and phloem, which transports dissolved nutrients in all directions within the plant. The main conducting vessels of xylem are the tracheids and the vessels.
  • 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 xylemand phloem. These two tissues transport fluid and nutrients internally.
  • Vascular tissue is made up of xylem and phloem, which transport water and food, respectively, throughout a plant. Lower plants, like mosses and algae, don't have avascular system and, therefore, no vascular tissue.Please refer the below image of Vascular tissue:
