Question

what is the role of vascular tissues.

Answer 1

The two types of transportation system in plants are by xylem and phloem.

They are the vascular tissues present in the cell.

They are the complex permanent tissues.

A complex permanent tissue is consist of both living and non living cells.

Xylem is responsible for water conduction.

While phloem is responsible for food transportation.


Xylem consists of :

• Tracheids
• Vessels
• Xylem paranchyma
• Xylem fibres

Phloem consists of :

• Sieve tubes
• Companion cells
• Phloem fibres
• Phloem paranchyma.

Answer 2

Vascular tissue is a complex conducting tissue, formed of more than one cell type, found in vascular plants. The primary components of vascular tissue are the xylem and phloem. These two tissues transport fluid and nutrients internally. There are also two meristems associated with vascular tissue: the vascular cambium and the cork cambium. All the vascular tissues within a particular plant together constitute the vascular tissue system of that plant.
