This document describes the classification and characteristics of vascular plants. It discusses how vascular plants have translocation systems made of phloem and xylem tubes that transport food and water. The key systems in vascular plants are also summarized, including roots that absorb water and nutrients, stems that support the plant and transport fluids, leaves that perform photosynthesis, and flowers, fruits, and seeds that reproduce the plant. Different types of fruits, seeds, and methods of seed dispersal are also outlined.
