Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Xylem is one of the two types of transport tissue in vascular plants, the other being phloem. The basic function of xylem is to transport water from roots to stems and leaves, but it also transports nutrients.
Detailed explanation-2: -The water-carrying tubes are called xylem. They transport water and dissolved substances from the roots to all parts of a plant.
Detailed explanation-3: -The stem conducts water and nutrient minerals from their site of absorption in the roots to the leaves by means of certain vascular tissues in the xylem. The movement of synthesized foods from the leaves to other plant organs occurs chiefly through other vascular tissues in the stem called phloem.
