NEET BIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -Vascular tissue in plants is made of two specialized conducting tissues: xylem, which conducts water, and phloem, which conducts sugars and other organic compounds. A single vascular bundle always contains both xylem and phloem tissues.

Detailed explanation-3: -Xylem and the phloem are the vascular or conducting tissues found in plants.

Detailed explanation-4: -Tracheophytes are vascular plants with stem, leaf, roots, and vascular bundles (xylem and phloem).

Detailed explanation-5: -Together with xylem (tissue that conducts water and minerals from the roots to the rest of the plant), phloem is found in all vascular plants, including the seedless club mosses, ferns, and horsetails, as well as all angiosperms (flowering plants) and gymnosperms (plants with seeds unenclosed in an ovary).
