NEET BIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -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.

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 is the specialised tissue of vascular plants that transports water and nutrients from the plant–soil interface to stems and leaves, and provides mechanical support and storage.

Detailed explanation-4: -Xylem is the complex conducting tissue formed from more than one type of cells. Xylem is present in all parts of a plant like stem, roots and leaves. Main function of xylem is conduction of water and minerals from the roots upwards to the leaves.

Detailed explanation-5: -The xylem is a type of tissue in vascular plants that transfers water. Water and soluble nutrients such as minerals and inorganic ions are transported from the roots to the rest of the plant by the xylem. Tracheary elements, which are specialized water-conducting cells, make up xylem tissue.
