The vascular system is made up of two conducting tissues, <u><em>xylem and phloem</em></u>, which conduct water and photosynthetic products respectively.
Autotrophic organisms are capable of synthesizing their own food and nutrition by harnessing sunlight and water.
Along with the entire kingdom Plantae and the following organisms are autotrophs:
Algae
Cyanobacteria
Seaweed
Phytoplankton
Fungi are heterotrophs, particularly of saprophytic nature. This means that they release enzymes on organic matter. These enzymes digest the organic matter into nutrients that the fungus can then utilize.
