Root/stem vascular system = stele. Arrangement can be cylinder or bundle

Xylem (conducts water/minerals upward from roots) + phloem (transports sugars)

Vascular - facilitate transport of materials, mechanical support

In shoots - guard cells do gas exchange. Trichomes reduce water loss, reflect excess light, defend against insects

Parallel or branched (major vein = midrib) veins
