Milkweed plants are threatened primarily due to habitat loss, agricultural practices, and the use of herbicides. Loss of habitat reduces the availability of suitable areas for milkweed to grow, leading to declines in populations. Additionally, milkweed is a primary food source for monarch butterflies, and the decline in milkweed plants has contributed to the decline in monarch butterfly populations.
Yes, milkweed plants are vascular. The plants in question (Asclepias spp) meet the two requirements for vascular plant membership. They succeed in dispersing minerals and water throughout the plant and in providing plant-wide access to photosynthetic products.
