Detailed explanation-1: -Xylem is one of the conducting tissues that is responsible for the transport of nutrients and water from roots to the aerial parts of the plant such as stem and leaves.

Detailed explanation-2: -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. Xylem tissue transports water and nutrients from the roots to different parts of the plant, and also plays a role in structural support in the stem.

Detailed explanation-3: -The type of vascular tissue which transports water and minerals from roots to leaves through the stems and branches is xylem. Phloem is the vascular tissue that transports food material from leaves to other parts of the plant.

Detailed explanation-4: -Plant transport tissues-xylem and phloem. Plants have two transport systems-xylem and phloem . Xylem transports water and minerals. Phloem transports sugars and amino acids dissolved in water.
