HORTICULTURE

Detailed explanation-1: -Vascular tissues provide structural stability that allows vascular plants (seedless vascular plants, gymnosperms, and angiosperms) to grow much larger than the bryophytes. The seedless vascular plants also lack seed formation, which distinguishes them from gymnosperms and angiosperms considered below.

Detailed explanation-2: -Vascular plants are successful due to better transportation for water, nutrients and reproduction. The xylem and phloem of the vascular bundles allow for distribution of water and food to all parts of the body. This structures allow vascular plants to colonize farther inland.

Detailed explanation-3: -A key difference between green algae and land-based plants is that A. land-based plants don’t have vascular tissue and must absorb nutrients directly from the environment.

Detailed explanation-4: -To adapt to land, these plants developed a complex root and shoot system via the evolution of xylem and phloem. These vascular tissues became responsible for sending water, nutrients, and products of photosynthesis to where they are needed in the plant.
