Since non-vascular plants don't have xylem or phloem, they can't transport their materials around the plant as quickly. This means that the plant stays low to the ground, which allows for nutrients to still get to the entire plant. Think of a sponge; it takes a long time for water to travel up the sponge from the base up. The same is true for non-vascular plants.

What are the two different types of vascular tissue?
Phloem and xylem are the two main types of vascular tissue found in plants. Xylem is the tissue that mainly carries water, and a few minerals, in the system. Phloem is the tissue that carries photosynthetic materials through the plant.
Are auxins transported in xylem or phloem?
Auxins are transported in the phloem, not the xylem.
What are the two vascular tissues found in the root and stem systems?
Xylem and Phloem Xylem-transports water from the roots Phloem-transports food from the process of photosynthesis through other parts of the plant
Drawing xylem and phloem?
Phloem is on the outside.
Which has scattered phloem and xylem in the stem?
Seeds that are considered monocot seeds contain phloem and xylem as scattered around. Dicot seeds have more organization, with the xylem in an x and the phloem surrounding it.
What are tubes that carry fluids from the roots up to leaves of vascular plants?
xylem and phloem

Differences between plant xylem and phloem and fruit xylem and phloem?
Phloem transports food and xylem transports water and minerals:)
Are auxins transported in xylem or phloem?
Auxins are transported in the phloem, not the xylem.
Why are algae called thallophytes?
They are called thallopytes because they lack vascular structures (xylem, phloem), leaves, roots.
What are the two vascular tissues found in the root and stem systems?
Xylem and Phloem Xylem-transports water from the roots Phloem-transports food from the process of photosynthesis through other parts of the plant
Are xylem and phloem tissues?
yes, xylem and phloem are tissues in the vascular system
What fibers surround the xylem and phloem tissues?
The xylem and the phloem tissues are found in plants. Bast fibers surround the xylem and the phloem tissues in plants.
What brings food and water to your cells?
.food is carried by phloem and water is carried by xylem.
Many wood stems have a layer of cells that separate the xylem from the pholem called the what?
cambium. and it doesnt just seperates between xylem and phloem, it creates them.
What is the Xylem of a root?
the xylem is in the roots and the phloem is in the stem actually, their is xylem and phloem in the roots. there is a large central core of xylem often in the shape of an x. and the phloem is found in between the arms of the x shaped xylem.
What is the diffference between xylem and phloem?
Xylem contains Vessels, trachieds and xylem parenchyma Phloem consists of sieve tubes, companion cells and phloem parenchyma
