DENDROLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The xylem is a tissue which transports water and minerals from the roots up the plant stem and into the leaves. Xylem consists of dead cells. The cells that make up the xylem are adapted to their function: They lose their end walls so the xylem forms a continuous, hollow tube.

Detailed explanation-2: -Xylem transports water and minerals. Phloem transports sugars and amino acids dissolved in water.

Detailed explanation-3: -The xylem transfers water and mineral ions. The xylem is a vascular bundle that transports water and ions to the leaf. This occurs through the process of transpiration. The phloem transfers food.
