NEET BIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The vascular plant contains xylem and phloem known as vascular tissues, for instance, conifers, flowering plants, and ferns. The vascular plants include all the seed-containing plants, angiosperms (flowering plants), gymnosperms, and the pteridophytes (lycophytes, horsetails, and ferns).

Detailed explanation-2: -Nonvascular plants were the first plants to evolve and do not have vascular tissue. Seedless vascular plants have vascular tissue but do not have seeds. Gymnosperms have seeds but do not have flowers. Angiosperms have vascular tissue, seeds, and flowers.

Detailed explanation-3: -Because they possess vascular tissues, these plants have true stems, leaves, and roots.

Detailed explanation-4: -Due to vascular plants being more efficient in transporting water and nutrients, plants can grow larger and support various structures such as complex leaves, flowers, and intricate root structures. Plants like liverworts and hornworts are not vascular plants due to a lack of vascular tissue.
