Vascular plant
 Vascular plants (from Latin vasculum: duct) also known as tracheophytes (from the equivalent Greek term trachea) and also higher plants form a large group of plants that are defined as those land plants that have lignified tissues (the xylem) for conducting water and minerals throughout the plant. They also have a specialized non-lignified tissue (the phloem) to conduct products of photosynthesis.
