What are plants with a well-developed system for transporting water and food that also have true roots, stems, and leaves?
A
vascular plants
B
nonvascular plants
C
mosses
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Vascular plants have a well defined vascular system consisting of xylem and phloem for transportation of water and food, respectively. Vascular plants are also known as tracheophytes.

Detailed explanation-2: -Xylem transports water, minerals, and nutrients from the soil to all the plant parts. There are two types of “transport” tissues in plants-xylem and phloem. Water and solutes are transported by the xylem from the roots to the leaves, and food is transported from the leaves to the rest of the plant by the phloem.

Detailed explanation-3: -The reproduction involves the alternation of generations with sporophyte (diploid 2n that produces spores) as the generation face and gametophyte (haploid 1n that produces gametes or sex cells). Nearly all the vascular plants consist of true leaves, stems, roots; however, some vascular plants might have reduced traits.
