In
zoology, "vascular" means "related to
blood vessels", which are part of the
Circulatory system. An organ or tissue that is
vascularized is heavily endowed with blood vessels and thus richly supplied with
blood.
In botany, plants with a dedicated transport system for water and nutrients are called vascular plants. Vascular plants include ferns, conifers and flowering plants. A vascular bundle is part of such a transport system.
