Plants with tubelike structures that transport water are called ____
A
fronds
B
fiddleheads
C
rhizoids
D
vascular
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Vascular tissue refers to a system of hollow tubes that transport materials throughout an organism (living thing). While the circulatory system is responsible for this task in humans, plants have structures called xylem and phloem that move resources like water and sugars from one place to another.

Detailed explanation-2: -The two primary vascular tissues are xylem, which transports water and dissolved minerals from the roots to the leaves, and phloem, which conducts food from the leaves to all parts of the plant.

Detailed explanation-3: -Vascular plants include the clubmosses, horsetails, ferns, gymnosperms (including conifers), and angiosperms (flowering plants). Scientific names for the group include Tracheophyta, Tracheobionta and Equisetopsida sensu lato.

Detailed explanation-4: -The vascular tissues for which these plants are named are specialized to transport fluid. They consist of long, narrow cells arranged end-to-end, forming tubes. There are two different types of vascular tissues, called xylem and phloem.

Detailed explanation-5: -Vascular plants are those plants, which have specialised vascular tissues for the transport of water, minerals and food. They contain xylem for water and mineral transport from roots to different parts of the plant and phloem for the transport of food from leaves to other parts of the plant.
