Vascular refers to the system of tubes that transport fluids, such as water and nutrients, throughout a plant or animal's body. In plants, these tubes are called xylem and phloem and are responsible for transporting water, minerals, and sugars. In animals, the vascular system includes arteries, veins, and capillaries that carry blood and oxygen to and from the tissues of the body.
