Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -The basic function of xylem is to transport water from roots to stems and leaves, but it also transports nutrients.
Detailed explanation-3: -Xylem is a specialized vascular tissue that serves as a conduit of water and minerals and provides mechanical support for upright growth. Wood, also known as secondary xylem, constitutes the major part of mature woody stems and roots.
