Detailed explanation-4: -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.

Detailed explanation-5: -Xylem tissue transports water and nutrients from the roots to different parts of the plant, and also plays a role in structural support in the stem.
