The xylem translocates water from the radicle to the leaves for photosynthesis.
The Phloem translocates the products of photosynthesis to the growing areas of the plant i.e. the Radicle (Root) and Plumule (Shoot)

The phloem brings the sugar the plant produces to everywhere it is needed in the plant.

Are house plants vascular?
Yes. All typical house plants transport water and food through veins (phloem and xylem) in their leaves, stems, and roots. Non-vascular plants include "true" mosses, liverworts, and land algae.
What advantage does a vascular plant have over a non vascular plant-?
Vascular plants have xylem and phloem, thus allowing the plant to live on land and not only in watery-marshy areas. Vascular plants are also able to grow bigger and taller.
what group of plants do NOT have roots or xylem vessels?
Plants with no vascular tissue (i.e. xylem and phloem) are called bryophytes, and include mosses, liverworts, and hornworts. Algae also lack vascular tissue, and are primarily aquatic (with the exception of lichens).
Compare and contrast vascular and nonvascular plants.?
Plants vascular have tubelike structures that carry water, nutrients and substances throughout the plant; Plant non vascular do not have these tubelike structures and use other ways to move water and substances. Terry Abraham, 11 ans
Which is an adaptation that helps plants survive on land?
Formation of cuticles
Nonvascular plants differ from all other land plants in that they?
Non-vascular plants' only need water to survive and they don't have vascular tissues(xylem and phloem)

How can you classify land plants in two ways?
Land plants can be broadly classed as "vascular" or "non-vascular". Vascular means having dedicated cells to transport water (xylem cells) and food (phloem cells) through the plant structure. Vascular plants (tracheophytes) : vegetables, trees Non-Vascular plants (bryophytes) : mosses and worts

Compare and contrast bryophytes and tracheophytes?
bryophytes are non vascular plants, they are small and are ecologically persistant, these plants do not form xylem tissue ever tracheophytes are vascular plants, and are composed of xylem and pholem tissues, they are seedless plants and are the very dominant land plants including trees and flowering plants.
What are basic structural differences between bryophytes and vascular plants?
Bryophytes are land plants that are non-vascular plants. Most do not have special structures for the transport of water. If they do contain specialized structure for tranportation of water, they do not contain lignin, so they are not considered true vascular plants. They are mosses, hornworts, and liverworts. Vascular plants contain lignified tissues (xylem) for transporting water and spcialized non-lignified tissue (phloem) to conduct products of photosynthesis. They iclude clubmosses, horsetails, ferns, and gymnosperms (including conifers), and angiosperms (flowering plants).
Does moss have vascular tissue to carry water and food?
yes, because there is xylem in water and moss needs water to survive. moss was also the first plant in water. but it was the second plant on earth. green algae was the first plant on earth. green alage was also the first plant on land.
How a vascular plant compares with a nonvascular plant?
AnatomyVascular plants contain two primary types of tube-like vascular tissues: xylem and phloem. Xylem is used to transport water and minerals from the roots upward; phloem is used to transport organic material synthesized by the plant, such as sugars, downward. These tissues are defining elements of true leaves, roots and stems, but they don't exist in non-vascular plants.TaxonomySome older classification systems include algae, certain types of seaweed, cyanobacteria and some fungi as non-vascular plants. These photosynthetic organisms are now excluded from the plant kingdom, belonging instead to Kingdom Monera, Protista or Fungi. The true plants consist of three divisions of non-vascular plants--mosses, liverworts and hornworts--and several divisions of vascular plants, including ferns, cone-bearing plants and seed-bearing plants.HabitatVascular tissues improve the efficiency of transportation of nutrients and allow plants to live in environments with limited water. Non-vascular plants were the first plants to evolve to inhabit land, and generally live in moist environments.SizeNon-vascular plants are limited in their ability to perform gas exchange and nutrient transport. This limits the plants' size, and they generally do not grow taller than 5 inches. Vascular plants, however, are not limited in size because of their ability to transport nutrients.

Formation of cuticles
What are two ways that vascular tissue is important?
Vascular TissueMost seed plants live on land. Recall from Chapter 4 that land plants face many challenges, including standing upright and supplying all their cells with food and water. Like ferns, seed plants meet these two challenges with vascular tissue. The thick walls of the cells in the vascular tissue help support the plants. In addition, food, water, and nutrients are transported throughout the plants in vascular tissue.There are two types of vascular tissue. Phloem (floh um) is the vascular tissue through which food moves. When food is made in the leaves, it enters the phloem and travels to other parts of the plant. Water and minerals, on the other hand, travel in the vascular tissue called xylem (zy lum). The roots absorb water and minerals from the soil. These materials enter the root's xylem and move upward into the stems and leaves.
