Definition

Etymology

From Greek 'eu-' (true) + 'angeion' (vessel) + '-otic' (relating to); describes tissues with a proper vascular system developed from Greek biological terminology.

Kelly Says

Plants don't have blood, but euangiotic vascular tissues like xylem and phloem work almost identically to animal blood vessels—they transport water, nutrients, and even plant hormones through the same physics!
