'''Vascular tissue''' is a complex [[tissue (biology)|tissue]] found in [[vascular plant]]s, meaning that it is composed of more than one cell type. The primary components of vascular tissue are the [[xylem]] and [[phloem]]. These two tissues transport fluid and nutrients internally. There are also two [[meristem]]s associated with vascular tissue: the [[vascular cambium]] and the [[cork cambium]].  All the vascular tissues within a particular plant together constitute the '''vascular tissue system''' of that plant.
