Detailed explanation-1: -xylem, plant vascular tissue that conveys water and dissolved minerals from the roots to the rest of the plant and also provides physical support. Xylem tissue consists of a variety of specialized, water-conducting cells known as tracheary elements.

Detailed explanation-2: -The ascent of sap is the upward movement of water and minerals from roots to leaves through the xylem tissue.

Detailed explanation-3: -Thus, transpiration helps in the upward movement of water and dissolved minerals from the roots to the leaves through the stem.

Detailed explanation-4: -The xylem tissue carries water and mineral ions from the soil up to the stem and the leaves. The mineral ions and water only travels in one direction. Xylem cells are dead. The phloem tissue transports sugars made from the leaves to the rest of the plant.
