**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Vascular Tissues**: Vascular tissues in plants are responsible for the conduction of water, nutrients, and food. They are classified as complex tissues because they consist of more than one type of cell. 2. **Identifying the Two Main Vascular Tissues**: The two primary vascular tissues involved in conduction are: - **Xylem**: This tissue is responsible for conducting water and minerals from the roots to the rest of the plant. The flow of water through xylem is unidirectional, meaning it moves in one direction—from the roots upwards to the leaves and other parts of the plant. - **Phloem**: This tissue is responsible for transporting food (mainly in the form of sugars) and nutrients throughout the plant. Unlike xylem, phloem can transport substances in multiple directions, which is known as bidirectional flow. It can move food from the leaves to the roots and to other parts of the plant, such as flowers and fruits. ...
