These are made up of group of specialised cells that conduct water, dissolved salts and food up or down the stem.
A
phloem
B
xylem
C
vascular bundles
D
vessels
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -Xylem and Phloem are called conducting tissues because they are involved in the conduction of water and the food. Xylem is responsible for the conduction of water absorbed by the roots to different parts of the plant. Whereas phloem conducts food prepared in the leaves to various parts of the plant.

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -In plants, xylem is the tissue responsible for the transport of water and minerals from the roots to all the parts of the plant.

Detailed explanation-5: -Root hair cells are specialised to allow plants to absorb more water and let a plant absorb the minerals it needs to keep alive. Xylem and Phloem cells are used by the plant to transport minerals, sugar and water to other parts of the plant.
