Xylem and phloem tissue are found in this part of the root:
A
vascular cylinder
B
meristem
C
root cap
D
root hairs
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Much like in the plant stem, the vascular cylinder in the root contains xylem and phloem. Xylem moves water and dissolved minerals within a plant, while phloem moves food throughout a plant. The xylem generally moves water up from the roots, while the phloem moves food from the leaves to the roots.

Detailed explanation-2: -The vascular cylinder consists of three main parts: the pericycle, the phloem, and the xylem. The pericycle encases the vascular cylinder and helps lateral roots grow from the main root. The phloem transports carbohydrates throughout the plant, while the xylem is responsible for water and nutrient transport.

Detailed explanation-3: -The vascular cylinder is the central region of a root that includes the xylem and phloem. Roots grow in length as their apical meristem produces new cells near the root tip.

Detailed explanation-4: -Vascular tissue is comprised of the xylem and the phloem, the main transport systems of plants. They typically occur together in vascular bundles in all plant organs, traversing roots, stems, and leaves. Xylem is responsible for the transport of water and dissolved ions from the roots upwards through the plant.
