Detailed explanation-1: -The plant vascular system is a complicated network of conducting tissues that interconnects all organs and transports water, minerals, nutrients, organic compounds, and various signaling molecules throughout the plant body.

Detailed explanation-2: -The function of xylem and phloem tissues of a plant is similar to the digestive system of an animal. The plant tissues are mainly responsible for the absorption and distribution of nutrients or water from the roots up to the leaves.

Detailed explanation-3: -The xylem of a plant is the system of tubes and transport cells that circulates water and dissolved minerals.

Detailed explanation-4: -The vascular system is comprised of two main types of tissue: the xylem and the phloem. The xylem distributes water and dissolved minerals upward through the plant, from the roots to the leaves. The phloem carries food downward from the leaves to the roots.

Detailed explanation-5: -The vascular system has two parts. Xylem transports water and minerals up, and phloem transports sugar down and to all the cells of the plant. How are the circulatory system in animals and the vascular system in plants similar to each other? Both systems transport food and water to cells.
