What is the vascular system?
non-living part of an ecosystem
What is abiotic?

What is an ecosystem?
an organelle that contains genetic material (DNA) and determines the nature of cell structures and substances
What is the nucleus?
a tissue made up of long connected cells within a vascular plant that transports water and minerals form the roots to all the cell of the plant
What is the xylem?
