Detailed explanation-1: -The two main components of vascular tissue in plants are – Xylem and Phloem. These tissues are responsible for the transport of water and nutrients in the plants. Additionally, the vascular tissues are also associated with two meristems namely – vascular cambium and cork cambium.

Detailed explanation-2: -Xylem tissues are the tubular-shaped structure, with the absence of cross walls. This tissue resembles the shape of a star. Phloem tissues are tubular-shaped, elongated, structures with the presence of walls with thin sieve tubes. It is located in the centre of the vascular bundle.

Detailed explanation-3: -xylem, plant vascular tissue that conveys water and dissolved minerals from the roots to the rest of the plant and also provides physical support. Xylem tissue consists of a variety of specialized, water-conducting cells known as tracheary elements.
