What are vascular bundles?
(N/A) Vascular bundles are complex tissues found in plants that consist of two primary conducting tissues: xylem and phloem.
Xylem is responsible for the transport of water and dissolved minerals from the roots to the rest of the plant.
Phloem is responsible for the transport of food (sugars) synthesized during photosynthesis from the leaves to other parts of the plant.
Together,these tissues form a structural unit known as a vascular bundle,which is essential for the transport system in vascular plants.
