Which plant structure carries water from the roots up to the rest of the plant?
A
Phloem
B
Xylem
C
Leaves
D
Biomass
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The tube-like structure called xylem is present in the stem that carries water to all the parts of the plant. The water absorbed by the root is carried through the stem 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.

Detailed explanation-3: -The xylem transports water and minerals from the roots up the plant stem and into the leaves. In a mature flowering plant or tree, most of the cells that make up the xylem are specialised cells called vessels.

Detailed explanation-4: -Main function – upwards water transport. The xylem, vessels and tracheids of the roots, stems and leaves are interconnected to form a continuous system of water-conducting channels reaching all parts of the plants. The system transports water and soluble mineral nutrients from the roots throughout the plant.

Detailed explanation-5: -XYLEM. Water travels from a tree’s roots to its canopy by way of this conductive tissue. There are many different processes occuring within trees that allow them to grow. One is the movement of water and nutrients from the roots to the leaves in the canopy, or upper branches.
