Yes, sugarcane is a vascular plant.
Vascular plants, also known as tracheophytes, are characterized by the presence of a specialized vascular system comprised of xylem and phloem. This system facilitates the transport of water, nutrients, and sugars throughout the plant. The reference text confirms that sugarcane ( Saccharum officinarum L.) possesses a vascular system within its leaves, consisting of longitudinal strands divided into small, intermediate, and large bundles. This internal structure clearly indicates that sugarcane belongs to the vascular plant group. The existence of these bundles confirms the presence of both xylem and phloem, crucial for the plant's survival and growth by enabling efficient transport mechanisms.
