The vascular conducting tissue in plants that transports nutrients (food) throughout the plant:
A
phloem
B
seed
C
xylem
D
pollen
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Xylem transports and stores water and water-soluble nutrients in vascular plants. Phloem is responsible for transporting sugars, proteins, and other organic molecules in plants. Vascular plants are able to grow higher than other plants due to the rigidity of xylem cells, which support the plant.

Detailed explanation-2: -Vascular tissues are those tissue that is responsible for the transport of food, minerals, and water throughout the plant.

Detailed explanation-3: -Phloem is another conducting vascular tissue found in plants that transports food made in leaves during photosynthesis to all the parts of the plant. The phloem is composed of three types of cells – the conducting cells, the parenchyma cells and the supportive cells.

Detailed explanation-4: -The one word to denote transportation of food via Phloem is “Translocation”. Sucrose and amino acids are transported by Phloem up and down through the plant. The process of translocation involves transportation of food into sieve tubes from where food can travel upward or downward to all the parts of the plant.
