phloem
Vascular tissue is essential for the transport of water, nutrients, and sugars throughout plants. It consists of two main types: xylem, which carries water and minerals from the roots to the leaves, and phloem, which distributes the products of photosynthesis. This system supports the plant's structure, helps in growth, and enables it to adapt to various environmental conditions. Additionally, vascular tissue plays a crucial role in the overall health and functioning of the plant by facilitating efficient resource distribution.

The stem's main functions are to support the leaves, send water and minerals to the leaves where photosynthesis converts them into usable products and to transport these products from the leaves to other parts of the plant.
Photosynthesis takes place in the leaves.
Leaves are adapted for photosynthesis, with a large surface area and thin structure to maximize sunlight absorption. Their internal structure contains chloroplasts where photosynthesis occurs, and a network of veins that transport water and nutrients throughout the leaf. Additionally, leaves have stomata to allow for gas exchange.
