Bearing or carrying blood vessels; having or producing blood vessels within tissue.
From Greek 'angion' (vessel) + 'phoros' (bearing, carrying). This rare botanical and zoological term describes structures or organisms that contain or support vascular tissue.
Plants use this term when describing tissues that are 'vessel-bearing'—it's how botanists say 'this part of the plant has a built-in plumbing system' to transport water and nutrients.
