Vascular/Non Vascular
Vascular plants – plants that have tissue that carry water, nutrients and food to their
cells
Xylem – carries water and nutrients from the roots to the leaves
Phloem – carries food from the leaves to the other parts of the plant for use and
storage
Vascular plants grow very large because they have xylem and phloem which carries,
water and nutrients to other parts of the plant.
Examples of Vascular Plants: oak tree, pecan tree, vegetables, grains
Non Vascular Plants – do not have xylem and phloem and must absorb water and
nutrients directly from the soil or air.
Spore – a structure that contains cells that can grow into a new plant without joining
with other cells
Examples of Non Vascular Plants: mosses, liverworts, some smaller plants
