How They Work
Vascular plants have vascular tissue. These tissues are used to conduct water and nutrients through the plant. This is how the plant transports things. The phloem transports solutions of nutrients down the plant. And the xylem transports the water and such up the plant. The roots keep the plant grounded and suck up the water from the ground. The tracheids are hallow plant cells in the xylem with thick cell walls. Ferns also have spores. These spores are how they reproduce. They grow on the back of the fern's leaves. |
