Vascular plants (from Latin vasculum 'duct'), also called tracheophytes (/ t r ə ˈ k iː. ə ˌ f aɪ t s /) or collectively tracheophyta (/ t r ə ˈ k iː. ə f aɪ t ə /; from Ancient Greek τραχεῖα ἀρτηρία (trakheîa artēría) 'windpipe', and φυτά (phutá) 'plants'), form a large group of land plants (c. 300,000 ...
The vascular plants, or tracheophytes, are plants that have specialized tissues for conducting water, minerals, and photosynthetic products through the plant. They include the ferns, clubmosses, horsetails, flowering plants, conifers and other gymnosperms. They are often called the higher plants.
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. They differ from mosses by being vascular, i.e., having specialized tissues that conduct water and nutrients and in having life cycles in which the branched sporophyte is the ...
Jun 13, 2018 · A vascular plant is any one of a number of plants with specialized vascular tissue. The two types of vascular tissue, xylem and phloem, are responsible for moving water, minerals, and the products of photosynthesis throughout the plant.
Pteridophytes (ferns and lycophytes) are free-sporing vascular plants that have a life cycle with alternating, free-living gametophyte and sporophyte phases that are independent at maturity. The body of the sporophyte is well differentiated into roots, stem and leaves.
May 24, 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.
Lycopodiopsida is a class of vascular plants also known as lycopods or lycophytes. Members of the class are also called clubmosses, firmosses, spikemosses and quillworts. They have dichotomously branching stems bearing simple leaves called microphylls and reproduce by means of spores borne in sporangia on the sides of the stems at the bases of ...
May 13, 2024 · Vascular plants ( tracheophytes) differ from the nonvascular bryophytes in that they possess specialized supporting and water-conducting tissue, called xylem, and food-conducting tissue, called phloem.
Vascular plants, also called tracheophytes or collectively tracheophyta, form a large group of land plants that have lignified tissues for conducting water and minerals throughout the plant. They also have a specialized non-lignified tissue to conduct products of photosynthesis.
Aug 13, 2021 · The World Checklist of Vascular Plants (WCVP) is a comprehensive list of scientifically described plant species, compiled over four decades, from peer-reviewed literature, authoritative...
References. Further reading. External links. Mosses are small, non-vascular flowerless plants in the taxonomic division Bryophyta ( / braɪˈɒfətə /, [3] / ˌbraɪ.əˈfaɪtə /) sensu stricto. Bryophyta ( sensu lato, Schimp. 1879 [4]) may also refer to the parent group bryophytes, which comprise liverworts, mosses, and hornworts. [5] .
Plants in the strictest sense include liverworts, hornworts, mosses, and vascular plants, as well as fossil plants similar to these surviving groups (e.g., Metaphyta Whittaker, 1969, Plantae Margulis, 1971).
Oct 31, 2023 · Seedless vascular plants are plants that contain vascular tissue, but do not produce flowers or seeds. In seedless vascular plants, such as ferns and horsetails, the plants reproduce using haploid, unicellular spores instead of seeds.
Vascular plants (from Latin vasculum 'duct'), also called tracheophytes (/trəˈkiː.əˌfaɪts/) or collectively Tracheophyta (from Ancient Greek τραχεῖα ἀρτηρία (trakheîa artēría) 'windpipe', and φυτά (phutá) 'plants'), form a large group of land plants (c. 300,000 accepted known species) that have lignified tissues (the xylem) for conducting water ...

The Lycopods (Lycopodiophyta or Lycophyta) are the oldest surviving vascular plant division. This is a subdivision of the plant kingdom . Its earliest fossils are from 428–410 million years ago.
Vascular plants (also known as tracheophytes or higher plants) are those plants that have lignified tissues for conducting water, minerals, and photosynthetic products through the plant. Vascular plants include the ferns, clubmosses, flowering plants, conifers and other gymnosperms.
1. Characteristics. Botanists define vascular plants by three primary characteristics: Vascular plants have vascular tissues which distribute resources through the plant.
Vascular tissue is a complex tissue found in vascular plants. Complex means that it is composed of more than one cell type. The primary components of vascular tissue are the xylem and phloem. These two tissues transport fluid and nutrients internally. There is a meristem associated with vascular tissue: the vascular cambium.
Vascular plants include the clubmosses, horsetails, ferns, gymnosperms (includin conifers) an angiosperms (flouerin plants). Scienteefic names for the group include Tracheophyta [5] an Tracheobionta. [6]
Related pages. Non-vascular plants is a general term for those plants without a vascular system ( xylem and phloem ). Although non-vascular plants do not have these tissues, some of them have other tissues for internal transport of water . Nonvascular plants have no roots, stems, or leaves. These structures always have some vascular tissue.
A picture of a Grassy grass plant. Plants are one of six big groups ( kingdoms) of living things. They are autotrophic eukaryotes, which means they have complex cells, and make their own food. Usually, they cannot move (not counting growth ). Plants include familiar types such as trees, herbs, bushes, grasses, vines, ferns, mosses, and green algae.
