Vascular Plants

From the Paper:

"The vascular plants are characterized by specialized tissue which transport water and dissolved minerals to the photosynthetic tissues and return photosynthetic food products. The importance of the vascular plants is enormous. Food, oxygen, and fuel are produced by these plants. Vascular plants are the primary and secondary producers of food; they maintain the oxygen content of the air, and they provide fuel in the forms of wood, coal and petroleum products after their death (5:2).

Two types of vascular tissue, xylem and phloem, are present in vascular plants.
