Plant Anatomy

 This is a tissue in plant stems and roots. It transports water and minerals upwards from the roots to the stem, via capillary action. 

• Xylem
• Phloem
• Photosynthesis
• Oxygen

• Vascular tissue 

Vascular tissue not only transports material it also

•  protects the plant
• supports the plant structurally
• transports minerals
• transports energy
