Detailed explanation-2: -xylem, plant vascular tissue that conveys water and dissolved minerals from the roots to the rest of the plant and also provides physical support. Xylem tissue consists of a variety of specialized, water-conducting cells known as tracheary elements.

Detailed explanation-3: -Phloem is the vascular tissue which transports food from leaves to the other parts of the plant. Phloem is composed of various specialized cells called sieve tubes, companion cells, phloem fibers and phloem parenchyma cells.

Detailed explanation-4: -Xylem is the tissue responsible for supporting the plant as well as for the storage and long-distance transport of water and nutrients, including the transfer of water-soluble growth factors from the organs of synthesis to the target organs.
