Chapter 28.1, Problem 1CC
Summary Introduction
To describe:
The role of vascular tissue system that enable leaves and roots to function together in supporting growth and development of the whole plant.
Introduction:
The vascular tissue system is comprised by higher plants that are termed as vascular plants. They containxylem (lignified tissues) to conduct the water and minerals throughout the whole plant. Phloem (non-lignified tissues) is present for conduction of photosynthesis. Such as ferns, gymnosperms and
