What are vascular tissues?

Answer 1

Vascular or conductive tissue is a distinctive feature of the complex plants, one that has made possible their survival in the terrestrial environment.

Vascular tissues are commonly known as Xylem & Phloem

Answer 2

Vascular tissue is used to transport nutrients from the base of the plant to throughout the organism. That's the gist of it. Here's how it works: First off, plants don't move like animals. For example, humans can pick up their nutrients (food/water, etc.) with their hands. Plants can't. What makes it even harder for plants to "suck" up water and nutrients is because the water would have to travel against gravity, and that's no easy task. So, to compensate, plants use vascular tissue which is a bunch of small tubes. These tubes are small enough for capillary action (water rising due to its attractiveness to the sides of the tissue). And this is how plants receive nourishment.

Answer 3

Vascular tissues allow plants to extend up into the sky, and down into the earth. Without vascular tissues plants would have to remain close to the ground without roots or shoots, because if they had roots or shoots they would have no way of conducting nutrients to other parts of the plant. In a larger light vascular tissue allows for plants to extend to other parts of the world that may not be near water, thus ultimately allowing for large amounts of plant diversity.

Answer 4

vascular tissues carries water and and nutrients though out the plant body
