DENDROLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Xylem: Xylems are strong, thick tubes. They carry water and minerals from the plant’s roots to the leaves of the same plant, where the actual process of photosynthesis takes place. Phloem : Phloem is a thinner tube than xylem. They carry the glucose synthesized in photosynthesis.

Detailed explanation-2: -The xylem tissue transports water and minerals. It consists of interconnected vessels and tracheids organized into continuous conducting tubes stretching from the roots to the leaves. These tubes carry water and minerals to all parts of the plant.

Detailed explanation-3: -Xylem transports water, minerals, and nutrients from the soil to all the plant parts. There are two types of “transport” tissues in plants-xylem and phloem. Water and solutes are transported by the xylem from the roots to the leaves, and food is transported from the leaves to the rest of the plant by the phloem.

Detailed explanation-4: -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.
