Nutrients that are absorbed by the plant roots from the soil are transported by the vascular system. The vascular system consists of two main types of tissues: xylem, which transports water and dissolved minerals from the roots to the rest of the plant, and phloem, which transports organic nutrients (like sugars) produced by photosynthesis. So, while nutrients from the soil primarily travel through the xylem, the overall system that facilitates transport is the vascular system.
