Why plants need transport tissues

Labelled transverse section of a young dicot stem showing epidermis, cortex, pith and an enlarged vascular bundle with phloem outside, vascular cambium, xylem inside and a sclerenchyma fibre cap

Large plants cannot rely on diffusion alone because roots, stems and leaves are far apart. They need vascular tissues arranged in vascular bundles to move substances efficiently.
