Xylem and phloem are examples of ____ tissue
A
Spores
B
Nonvascular
C
Seeds
D
Vascular
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Xylem and phloem are examples of vascular tissues. The function of vascular tissues is to conduct water and food different part of the plant body. Vascular tissues are complex permanent tissues because they are made of more than one cell type. They are derived from the differentiation of meristematic tissues.

Detailed explanation-2: -Vascular tissue is comprised of the xylem and the phloem, the main transport systems of plants. They typically occur together in vascular bundles in all plant organs, traversing roots, stems, and leaves. Xylem is responsible for the transport of water and dissolved ions from the roots upwards through the plant.

Detailed explanation-3: -phloem, plant vascular tissue that conducts foods made in the leaves during photosynthesis to all other parts of the plant. Phloem is composed of various specialized cells called sieve elements, phloem fibres, and phloem parenchyma cells.

Detailed explanation-4: -Xylem is a specialized vascular tissue that serves as a conduit of water and minerals and provides mechanical support for upright growth. Wood, also known as secondary xylem, constitutes the major part of mature woody stems and roots.

Detailed explanation-5: -Vascular tissue transports water, minerals, and sugars to different parts of the plant. Vascular tissue is made of two specialized conducting tissues: xylem and phloem.
