Vascular tissue includes xylem and phloem tissues. Xylem tissue carries water and minerals from the roots and distribute it in the plant body to the tip. Phloem tissue is mainly responsible for transporting food (glucose) from leaves to the roots and all parts of the plant body. These two tissues are very important for the plants to conquer land because without these, plants cannot distribute water and food to the other parts.
Vascular tissues are required for the proper translocation of food, water and other minerals in a plant body which is essential for the survival of a plant on the land.
