Tracheophytes are a group of vascular plants that include ferns, conifers, and flowering plants. They are characterized by the presence of specialized tissues called xylem and phloem, which transport water, nutrients, and food throughout the plant. This vascular system allows tracheophytes to grow larger and thrive in various environments. These plants reproduce through seeds or spores, depending on the specific type. Tracheophytes play a crucial role in ecosystems, providing oxygen, food, and habitat for many organisms. They are essential for maintaining ecological balance and supporting life on Earth.
