Question

which of the following is a characteristic of vascular plants? they do not need water to survive. they grow tall with xylem and phloem. they are all very small.

Explanation:

Vascular plants have vascular tissues like xylem (for water and mineral transport) and phloem (for nutrient transport). This allows them to grow tall. All plants need water to survive (so the first option is wrong). Non - vascular plants are often small (like mosses), but vascular plants can be large (so the third option is wrong).

Answer:

They grow tall with xylem and phloem.
