What does the vascular bundle consist of?
A
Palisade Mesophyll & Spongy Mesophyll
B
Waxy Cuticle & Upper Epidermis
C
Xylem & Phloem
D
None of the Above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The vascular bundle consists of the xylem and phloem . They aid in water and dissolved mineral absorption, as well as their transmission to the stem and the storage of reserve foods. In the vascular bundle, phloem and xylem are separated by only a few cells.

Detailed explanation-2: -The vascular system is comprised of two main types of tissue: the xylem and the phloem. The xylem distributes water and dissolved minerals upward through the plant, from the roots to the leaves. The phloem carries food downward from the leaves to the roots.

Detailed explanation-3: -A vascular bundle is a part of the transport system in vascular plants. The transport itself happens in the stem, which exists in two forms: xylem and phloem. Both these tissues are present in a vascular bundle, which in addition will include supporting and protective tissues.

Detailed explanation-4: -The vascular bundles are arranged near the edge of the stem, with the phloem on the outside and the xylem on the inside.

Detailed explanation-5: -Xylem and phloem are called vascular or conducting tissues because both xylem and phloem tissues transport materials in plants, they are together called vascular tissues.
