BOTANY

Detailed explanation-1: -Instead of arteries and veins, plants have xylem and phloem. As we just learned, roots have a vascular cylinder, which in simple terms is a cylinder in the middle of the roots that has xylem and phloem. These two tissues are found in all plant organs: roots, stems, leaves, and reproductive organs.

Detailed explanation-2: -Xylem is located in the centre of the vascular bundle, deep in the plant. Phloem is located on the outer side of the vascular bundle. Their movement is unidirectional. Their movement is bidirectional.

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. Xylem cells constitute the major part of a mature woody stem or root.

Detailed explanation-4: -The vascular bundles are arranged near the edge of the stem, with the phloem on the outside and the xylem on the inside.

Detailed explanation-5: -Xylem and phloem are examples of vascular tissues. The function of vascular tissues is to conduct water and food different part of the plant body. Vascular tissues are complex permanent tissues because they are made of more than one cell type.
