DENDROLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Xylem tissue transports water and nutrients from the roots to different parts of the plant, and also plays a role in structural support in the stem.

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: -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: -The type of vascular tissue that transports water and minerals in plants from roots to leaves is phloem.
