Vascular Tissue System: Vascular tissues are groups of tissues that transport or conduct the passage of fluid and nutrients. They are arranged in such a way that the passage of transporting materials can be transported easily. The cells in vascular tissues are typically long and slender. Vascular tissue is made up of more than one cell type, found in most of the vascular plants.
The vascular tissue system consists primarily of two types of cells which are xylem and phloem. Both the cells are responsible for the conduction of water, minerals and nutrients throughout the plant. Xylem cells help to transport water and nutrients from roots to stem and are long cells, consisting of two other types of cells known as parenchyma and fibres. Phloem is responsible for transporting sugars and other organic molecules.
Vascular tissues are arranged in the form of long distinct strands which are known as vascular bundles. In addition to the xylem and phloem, the vascular bundles also include other supporting and protecting cells. In between the xylem and phloem, there exists a meristem which is known as vascular cambium.
