Summary Introduction
Introduction: The phloem of the plant cell is composed of sclerenchyma, parenchyma, sieve elements, and companion cells. The sieve element and the companion cells are found closely associated with each other. They are highly specialized type of elongated cells found in the phloem tissue of flowering plants.

The reconstruction of Asteroxylon in Figure 21-10 shows thin, leaf-like flaps of tissue on the plant’s surface. What are these called? Did they ever have stomata in any of the zosterophyllophytes? Did they have vascular bundles? Did they ever become large (Hint: Look at Figure 21-13)?
Pines and other plants that grow in very cold climates have sunken stomata just like the plants of the desert, yet the annual precipitation where they grow may be very abundant. Is there any advantage to their having such a modification?
Early botanists admired ferns but found their life cycle perplexing. In the 1700s, they learned to propagate ferns by sowing what appeared to be tiny dust like “seeds” that they collected from the undersides of fronds. Despite many attempts, the botanists could not locate the pollen source, which they assumed must stimulate these “seeds” to develop. Imagine you could write to these botanists. Compose a note that explains the fern life cycle and clears up their confusion.

- A very important feature of ferns is shown: Their shoot xylem is not solid as it was in the rhyniophytes. In the evolution of ferns and seed plants, there was the evolution of pith. A stele with a pith is called a . Another significant feature of ferns is that the phloem occurs both to the outer side as well as the inner side of the xylem.
