Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
This plant structure is designed to transport water and mineral salts from the roots to the stem and to the leaves of the plant (uni-directional).
A
Xylem
B
Phloem
C
Cambium
D
Cortex cells
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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.

Detailed explanation-2: -Water Transport from Roots to Shoots The structure of plant roots, stems, and leaves facilitates the transport of water, nutrients, and photosynthates throughout the plant. The phloem and xylem are the main tissues responsible for this movement.

Detailed explanation-3: -The specialized structures in vascular plants that transport water and minerals are vessels called xylem. Xylem conducts water and dissolved minerals upward through the stem of the plant, as water enters through the roots and must be transported to the rest of the structure.
