Summary Introduction
To review:
The distribution and evolution of different types of leaves and roots in vascular plants.
Introduction:
Vascular plants are the ones, which have developed the vascular tissues, such as xylem and phloem. Xylem helps in transporting water along with minerals from the soil to various parts of the plant. Phloem is involved in the transport of the products of photosynthesis. These features have allowed the vascular plants to live on land.
