Answer:Vascular plants contain vascular tissue composed of tubelike cells that transport food and water throughout the plant. This vascular system is found in roots, stems, and leaves. There are three types of vascular tissue: xylem, phloem, cambium. transports water and dissolved minerals up from the roots.The vascular tissues of plants, which are composed of specialized conducting tissues, xylem and phloem, form continuous systems through the plant body and provide transport pathways for water, nutrients, and signaling molecules and support a plant body against mechanical stresses.
