According to Wikipedia:

"Vascular plants are distinguished by two primary characteristics:

Vascular plants have vascular tissues which distribute resources through the plant. This feature allows vascular plants to evolve to a larger size than non-vascular plants, which lack these specialized conducting tissues and are therefore restricted to relatively small sizes."

"In vascular plants, the principal generation phase is the sporophyte, which is usually diploid with two sets of chromosomes per cell. Only the germ cells and gametophytes are haploid. By contrast, the principal generation phase in non-vascular plants is the gametophyte, which is haploid with one set of chromosomes per cell. In these plants, only the spore stalk and capsule are diploid."

What are two characteristics you can observe that distinguish vascular plants from non vascular plants?

non- vascular plants have no vascular tissues and they are not considered as true plant. they are also called as thallophytes. vascular plants have vascular tissues,they are the xylem and phloem. xylem tissue transport water and dissolved nutrients from roots to leaves, while the phloem transports them up to the leaves and other plant parts.they are also called as tracheophytes. the vascular plants have 2 groups and they're spore- bearing and seed- bearing plants. the seed- bearing has 2 groups, angiosperms and gymnosperms. the non- vascular pant has 1 group, the bryophytes.


What are the classes of seed-bearing plants?

The two groups of seed-bearing plants are:-gymnosperms and angiosperms.Gymnosperm-are vascular plants that produce seeds on the scales of cones. Angiosperm-flowering plants that develop seeds enclosed in a fruit are called angiosperms.


How can you classify the plantae kingdom?

The kingdom Plantae is comprised of the green plants. These plants have cell walls with cellulose and mostly gather energy from sunlight by photosynthesis. They're also characterized by alternation of generations and sexual reproduction.


Are seed plants vascular?

Yes, seed plants are vascular plants. They have specialized tissues for transporting water, minerals, and nutrients throughout their structures. This vascular system consists of xylem and phloem tissues.
