Removed incorrect statement ("biology" is less specific than "zoology", not more)
In [[zoology]], "vascular" means "related to '''[[blood vessel]]s'''", 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]], [[plant]]s with a dedicated '''[[vascular tissue|transport system]]''' for water and nutrients are called [[vascular plant]]s. Vascular plants include [[fern]]s, [[conifer]]s and [[angiosperm|flowering plants]]. A vascular bundle is part of such a transport system.
