vascular plant
A plant that possesses water-conducting and food-conducting strands in its stem and roots. Vascular plants include the flowering plants (angiosperms), conifers, and ferns. Altogether they account for 9 of the 12 plant phyla. Members of the other three phyla, traditionally considered bryophytes, either lack such conducting tissues or have poorly developed ones.
