Yes. The vascular system of a tree consists mostly of phloem and xylem. These vessels transport water, nutrients, and organic solutes up and down the tree, between its roots and leaves. On a cellular level, under a microscope, you can observe all sorts busy activities of a live cell -- photosynthesis (chlorophyll), ATP synthesis (electron transport chains of mitochondria), etc. A tree, or any given plant, must stay alive to produce its young. There are many defense systems that a plant can use to fight against fungi, bugs, and herbivores -- poison, thorns, etc. Pollen, seeds, and fruits grow on trees and other plants, and you can witness those as signs of liveliness in various seasons. There are experiments you can do to prove it to yourself. If you get the permission from the owner of a garden, you can ask to break off a tiny little branch of a tree or something growing their garden. The easiest way is probably to buy a celery stem from a grocery store. Make a small glass of red solution with red food color and water. Cut the bottom of the stem so the cells exposed are fresh (i.e. alive). Stick that end of the stem into the red solution and leave the upper stem and the leaves in the air. If you split open the celery stem, you will see red fluid crawling up in the fibers of the celery. After some time, you will see the leaves of the celery start to turn red. This is all because the cells of the celery vascular system are working hard to keep the celery hydrated and therefore sustain its life.
