Detailed explanation-1: -A vascular system simply means that it is a system where things are transported in vessels. For plants, it will be the xylem and phloem and for animals, it will be the arteries and veins.

Detailed explanation-2: -Phloem vessels transport dissolved substances, such as sucrose and amino acids, from the leaves to the rest of the plant. Xylem and phloem vessels are grouped together within the plant stem and form vascular bundles.

Detailed explanation-3: -In animals, the heart pumps the blood throughout the body, carrying oxygen and nutrients. In plants, transpiration moves water through xylem and phloem, carrying with it nutrients and minerals. The circulatory system of both plants and animals also allows for the removal of waste products.

Detailed explanation-4: -Vessel elements in the xylem are analogous to blood vessels, a main transport system, found throughout a human body. So too, vessel elements of the xylem are the primary elements of a plant’s water conducting system. Vessel elements cells are intriguing as they also were once living, but dead when mature.
