Vascular .VS. Nonvascular Plants
By:Gavin Portier
Vascular Plants
A vascular plant is a plant with tubes to carry nutrients and water throughout the plant.Vascular plants are more complex than nonvascular plants.They have two types of tissue;Xylem and Phloem.Xylem carries water and nutrients from the roots to other parts of the plant.Phloem carries food from the leaves to the rest of the plant.Here are some examples of vascular plants:
Vascular Tree
A tree is a vascular plant.It has a very strong trunk.You can find thousands of types of trees in thousands of different types of places.You can tell the age of a tree by counting it's xylem rings from the middle to the outside.
Vascular Sunflower
A Sunflower is also a vascular plant.It's stem carries nutrients and water throughout the plant.You can find Sunflowers commonly.Sunflowers can grow to be as tall as two African Elephants stacked.
Vascular Wheat Crop
Wheat is also a vascular plant.Like the Sunflower,it has a strong stem that carries nutrients and water throughout the crop.Again,like the Sunflower,you can find Wheat crops commonly.There are a lot of foods that have Wheat as an ingredient.
Non-Vascular Plants
Non-Vascular Plants
A non-vascular plant is a plant without tubes to carry water and nutrients throughout the plant.Non-Vascular plants are less complex than vascular plants.They have no tissue for carrying materials throughout the plant.They absorb water and nutrients from their surroundings.Non-Vascular plants cannot grow very tall and because of their small sizes they can absorb enough water to carry materials throughout the plant.
