The correct answer to this question is vascular plants. They are known for having an internal system of tube-like structures that allow them to transport nutrients to their stems, roots, and leaves. Vascular plants are mostly land plants, and they have a type of tissue (the xylem) that transport minerals and water.

There is also another type of tissue (phloem) in vascular plants that are used for the distribution of nutrients, sugars, and other products of photosynthesis. There are different species of vascular plants. In fact, there are about 300,000 known species of vascular plants.

Ferns, clubmosses, gymnosperms, horsetails, and angiosperms are examples of vascular plants. The presence of these tube-like structures in vascular plants is the reason why they have larger sizes compared to other non-vascular plants. This is because non-vascular plants lack conducting tissues. Another important characteristic of vascular plants is that they have true stems, leaves, and roots.

The plant that will come with a tube−like structure is called the vascular plant. The vascular plant is known to be any type of plant that would come with vascular tissue. These are normally land plants that will have lignified tissue.

This type of tissue is responsible for making sure that the plant will be getting enough nutrients from the soil. They will be conducting minerals, nutrients, and other photosynthetic products so that the plant will be able to survive.

Some people would refer to the vascular plant as “higher plants.” Some examples of vascular plants are ferns and different types of flowering plants.

Vascular plants have tube-like forms that carry nutrients and other dissolved substances. Non-vascular plants are distinguished from other plants, such as algae, which do not have a vascular system. Most vascular plants are seed plants, and seed plants are often the template utilized in biology and botany texts and the kind of plant that is the most identifiable.

Plants have a root system, a stem or trunk, branches, leaves, and reproductive structures. Vascular plants consist of a large group of plants characterized as land plants that have been lignified tissues for moving water and minerals throughout the plant. They also possess a specific non lignified tissue to conduct items of photosynthesis. Vascular plants consist of clubmosses, horsetails, ferns, gymnosperms, and angiosperms.
