NEET BIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Phloem tissue helps in transfer of food to different parts of plant and Xylem tissue helps in transfer of water and minerals to different parts of the plant.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -Xylem transports water in plants. Water is absorbed from the soil through root hair cells. Water moves by osmosis from root cell to root cell until it reaches the xylem. It is transported through the xylem vessels up the stem to the leaves.

Detailed explanation-4: -The vascular tissue, phloem helps in the transportation of the synthesized food from the leaves to various storage organs. Phloem is a complex permanent tissue that is present in all vascular plants.
