The roots ____ system helps transport water and food particles throughout the plant.
A
circulatory
B
respiratory
C
vascular
D
heart
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Xylem and Phloem are responsible tissues that transport water and food in different plants. Xylem is the vascular tissue that conveys dissolved minerals and water from the roots to other parts of a plant by providing physical support to the plant.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -Xylem is responsible for the transport of water and dissolved ions from the roots upwards through the plant.

Detailed explanation-4: -Xylem tissue transports water and nutrients from the roots to different parts of the plant, and includes vessel elements and tracheids, both of which are tubular, elongated cells that conduct water.

Detailed explanation-5: -The plant vascular system is a complicated network of conducting tissues that interconnects all organs and transports water, minerals, nutrients, organic compounds, and various signaling molecules throughout the plant body.
