The tissue that transports water and sugars in a plant is called vascular tissue.

Specifically, there are two types of vascular tissue:

* Xylem: This tissue transports water and dissolved minerals upwards from the roots to the rest of the plant.

* Phloem: This tissue transports sugars (produced through photosynthesis) downwards from the leaves to other parts of the plant, such as the roots and developing fruits.

So, while both xylem and phloem are part of vascular tissue, they have different roles in transporting water and sugars.
