C. Nutrients
Plants are classified based on the presence of a certain specialized tissue. A specialized tissue called vascular tissue which helps transport nutrients and water to all parts of the plant.
Step-by-step explanation;
- Vascular tissue is a conducting tissue that is formed by more than one cell type which is found in vascular plants.
- Plants may be classified as vascular plants or non-vascular plants depending on whether they have or lack vascular tissues.
- Vascular tissue is mainly made up of the xylem and the phloem, whose main role is transport of fluids and nutrients in vascular plants.
- Xylem conducts water and mineral salts from the roots upward and through out the plant, while the phloem transports dissolved nutrients to all parts of the plants.
