Plants contain vascular tissue which consists of cells that make up tube structures that ____
A
transport materials along the stem of a plant
B
transport only water along the stem of a plant
C
transport only food along the stem of a plant
D
transport materials along the leaves only of a plant
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Vascular tissue is comprised of the xylem and the phloem, the main transport systems of plants. They typically occur together in vascular bundles in all plant organs, traversing roots, stems, and leaves. Xylem is responsible for the transport of water and dissolved ions from the roots upwards through the plant.

Detailed explanation-2: -The two primary vascular tissues are xylem, which transports water and dissolved minerals from the roots to the leaves, and phloem, which conducts food from the leaves to all parts of the plant.

Detailed explanation-3: -Xylem is the plant vascular tissue that conveys water and dissolved minerals from the roots to the rest of the plant.

Detailed explanation-4: -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.
