What is vascular tissue?
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.
The ferns (Polypodiopsida or Polypodiophyta) are a group of vascular plants (plants with xylem and phloem) that reproduce via spores and have neither seeds nor flowers.

Aug 31, 2024 · Vascular plant, any of some 260,000 species of plants with vascular systems, including all of the conspicuous flora of Earth today. The vascular system consists of xylem, concerned mainly with the conduction of water and dissolved minerals, and phloem, which functions mainly in the conduction of foods, such as sugar.
