The '''vascular plants''', or '''tracheophytes''', are [[plant]]s that have specialized [[Tissue (biological)|tissue]]s for conducting water, [[mineral]]s, and [[Photosynthesis|photosynthetic]] products through the plant. They include the [[fern]]s, [[clubmoss]]es, [[horsetail]]s, [[flowering plant]]s, [[conifer]]s and other [[gymnosperm]]s.<ref>Scientific names are ''Tracheophyta'' and ''Tracheobionta'', but neither is very widely used.</ref> They are often called the '''higher plants'''.<ref>Kenrick, Paul & Peter R.

<br />
The vascular plants are set apart in two main ways:<br />
# Vascular plants have vascular tissues, which circulate resources through the plant. This feature allows vascular plants to grow to a larger size than non-vascular plants, which lack these specialized conducting tissues and are therefore restricted to relatively small sizes. <br />
# In vascular plants, the principal generation phase is the ''[[sporophyte]]'', which is [[diploid]] with two sets of chromosomes per cell.<ref>In non-vascular plants, the principal generation phase is often the ''[[gametophyte]]'', which is [[haploid]] with one set of chromosomes per cell.</ref><br />
<br />
Water transport happens in either xylem or phloem: [[xylem]] carries water and inorganic [[solute]]s upward toward the leaves from the roots, while [[phloem]] carries [[Organic chemistry|organic]] solutes throughout the plant.<br />
