NEET BIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Roots also anchor the plant and store food. The stem conducts water and minerals absorbed by the root system upward to various parts of the stem and leaves; stems also conduct carbohydrates manufactured through the process of photosynthesis from the leaves to various parts of the stem and root system.

Detailed explanation-2: -Answer and Explanation: Vascular plants get their nutrition through the transport of sugars by specialized vessels called phloem. All vascular plants have two types of vessels which make up vascular tissue for the purpose of transport: xylem and phloem.

Detailed explanation-3: -The stems of vascular plants have several functions, including support of the plant, transport of water and minerals by the vascular system, and generation of energy through photosynthetic cells (in some plants). Some stems also function in food and water storage. Stems arise in the apical meristem.

Detailed explanation-4: -Most nutrients are absorbed through root hairs near the very tip of the roots. Root hairs are ultra-fine roots that have a large surface area, allowing them to absorb even more water. The majority of plants also partner with different fungi to absorb even more nutrients from the water in the soil.

Detailed explanation-5: -Roots are the parts of plants responsible for water and minerals absorption. It is also involved in the anchorage of the plant.
