NEET BIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The ferns, gymnosperms, and flowering plants are all vascular plants. Because they possess vascular tissues, these plants have true stems, leaves, and roots.

Detailed explanation-2: -Vascular plants include the clubmosses, horsetails, ferns, gymnosperms (including conifers), and angiosperms (flowering plants). Scientific names for the group include Tracheophyta, Tracheobionta and Equisetopsida sensu lato.

Detailed explanation-3: -Vascular tissue is comprised of the xylem and the phloem, the main transport systems of plants. They typically occur together in vascular bundles in all plant organs, traversing roots, stems, and leaves. Xylem is responsible for the transport of water and dissolved ions from the roots upwards through the plant.

Detailed explanation-4: -Photographer: Jeremy RolfeVascular plants are called ‘vascular’ because they have a system of ‘tubes’ that connect all parts of the plant, roots, shoots and leaves, to transport water and nutrients from one part of the plant to another.

Detailed explanation-5: -Vascular plants are also known as tube plants (tracheophytes). The presence of vascular tissues such as xylem (tube-like) and phloem ( tubular cells) plays a role in distributing food and water to the plant cells. Other ordinary characteristics include stems, leaves, and roots that hold the plant and provide support.
