Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which two functions does xylem perform?
A
support
B
absorption
C
contraction
D
transport
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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. The water-conducting function of xylem is one of the major distinguishing features of vascular plants.

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: -Xylem transports water and minerals. Phloem transports sugars and amino acids dissolved in water.

Detailed explanation-4: -The main function of the xylem is water transport from roots to the other parts of the plant. Xylem also provides mechanical strength. Tracheids and vessels are the main elements for conducting water.

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.
