Summary Introduction
The vascular plants have an advanced type of transport system to carry water, nutrients, and minerals to all the parts of the plant body. The vascular plants have two major transport system called as xylem and phloem vascular tissues. These vascular tissues are found from the tip of the root and throughout the stem, branches, and into the veins of the leaves.
