Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The two primary vascular tissues are xylem, which transports water and dissolved minerals from the roots to the leaves, and phloem, which conducts food from the leaves to all parts of the plant.

Detailed explanation-2: -Stems carry water and nutrients taken up by the roots to the leaves. Then the food produced by the leaves moves to other parts of the plant. The cells that do this work are called the xylem cells. They move water.

Detailed explanation-3: -The xylem distributes water and dissolved minerals upward through the plant, from the roots to the leaves. The phloem carries food downward from the leaves to the roots.

Detailed explanation-4: -The tube-like structure called xylem is present in the stem that carries water to all the parts of the plant.

Detailed explanation-5: -Water Transport from Roots to Shoots The structure of plant roots, stems, and leaves facilitates the transport of water, nutrients, and photosynthates throughout the plant. The phloem and xylem are the main tissues responsible for this movement.
