Explanation: plants possess vascular bundles.these are bundles which includes xylem and phloem tissues and transport useful substances to various plant cells.

New Xylem and phloem are formed from the vascular cambium which divides into new cells .

Xylem and phloem are thin and slender with pipe-like structure.

The xylem transports water and dissolved nutrients to the cells where they are needed.

The phloem transports the product of photosynthesis (sugar) to parts what they are used up or stored .
