1. Describe the three distinct parts of vascular plants.

The three distinct parts of a vascular plant are leaves, stems, and roots. Leaves are the plant’s photosynthetic structures that absorb light; they are attached to the stem of a plant. Stems are plant support structures that serve as conduits for food, water, and nutrients. Roots absorb nutrients and moisture, anchor the plant in the soil, and provide support for the stem.
