Conductive tissue
In botany , conductive tissue is the term used to describe the xylem and phloem tissues responsible for transporting water, nutrients and assimilates in the plant .
The vascular tissue is found in roots , shoot axes and leaves and is organized there in so-called vascular bundles . There it is often surrounded by sclerenchyma and endodermis tissue. The conductive tissue is also used by pathogens such as viruses or bacteria to spread in the plant.
