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: -The xylem is a tissue which transports water and minerals from the roots up the plant stem and into the leaves.

Detailed explanation-3: -Water Transport from Roots to Shoots The phloem and xylem are the main tissues responsible for this movement.

Detailed explanation-4: -Xylem transports water, minerals, and nutrients from the soil to all the plant parts. 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-5: -The type of vascular tissue which transports water and minerals from roots to leaves through the stems and branches is xylem. Phloem is the vascular tissue that transports food material from leaves to other parts of the plant.
