Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -Phloem transport occurs by the bulk flow of water and dissolved nutrients from photosynthetic source tissues to heterotrophic sink tissues.
Detailed explanation-3: -Water Transport from Roots to Shoots The phloem and xylem are the main tissues responsible for this movement. Water potential, evapotranspiration, and stomatal regulation influence how water and nutrients are transported in plants.
