How did the plant change after sitting in blue water?

Plants must be able to distribute material in order to survive.  Vascular tissue, including the xylem and phloem, are responsible for the transport of these materials.  

1. 1. Explain the function of the xylem and phloem in plant vascular tissue 

   1. Sentence Stem: The function of the xylem is X. The function of the phloem is X.

2. 2. Describe how these tissues contribute to the overall health and growth of the plant.

   1. Sentence Stem: The Xylem contributes by X. The phloem contributes by X.
