Summary Introduction
To describe:
The role of vascular tissue system that enable leaves and roots to function together in supporting growth and development of the whole plant.
Introduction:
The vascular tissue system is comprised by higher plants that are termed as vascular plants. They containxylem (lignified tissues) to conduct the water and minerals throughout the whole plant. Phloem (non-lignified tissues) is present for conduction of photosynthesis. Such as ferns, gymnosperms and

As a stem develops, it possesses three types of permanent tissues: surface tissue, ground tissue, and vascular tissue. The surface and ground tissues support and give structure to the plant. The vascular tissues are the transport systems of the plant. The vascular tissues usually exist in one of three patterns and are known as the phloem and xylem. Both the xylem and phloem are made up of several different types of cells that make up transport tubes for needed nutrients. In general, xylem nutrients (sap) travel from the roots to the rest of the plant. Phloem sap is derived from photosynthesizing leaves and from there is carried throughout the plant. 24.
