tracheophyte

Also known as higher plants, vascular plant, vascular plants, higher plant, tracheophytes, tracheophyta

clade of plants with xylem and phloem

AI overview

Tracheophytes are plants that have specialized internal plumbing systems called xylem and phloem, which transport water and nutrients throughout their bodies. This innovation allowed plants to grow larger and colonize drier environments, making tracheophytes the dominant plants on land today.

Article

Vascular plants (from Latin vasculum 'duct'), also called tracheophytes ( UK: /ˈtrækiːəˌfaɪts/, US: /ˈtreɪkiːəˌfaɪts/) or collectively Tracheophyta (/ˌtreɪkiːˈɒfɪtə/; from Ancient Greek τραχεῖα ἀρτηρία (trakheîa artēría) 'windpipe' and φυτά (phutá) 'plants'), are 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. The group includes most land plants (c. 300,000 accepted known species) excluding mosses.

Vascular plants include the clubmosses, horsetails, ferns, gymnosperms (including conifers), and angiosperms (flowering plants). They are contrasted with nonvascular plants such as mosses and green algae. Scientific names for the vascular plants group include Tracheophyta, Tracheobionta and Equisetopsida sensu lato. Some early land plants (the rhyniophytes) had less developed vascular tissue; the term eutracheophyte has been used for all other vascular plants, including all living ones.
