The xylem in plants are responsible for : A)transport of water B)transport of food C)transport of amino acids D)transport of oxygen
Option A) Xylem is one of the two types of transport tissue in vascular plants, phloem being the other. The basic function of xylem is to transport water from roots to shoot and leaves, but it also transports some dissolved nutrients. Together with phloem (tissue that conducts sugars from the leaves to the rest of the plant), xylem is found in all vascular plants.
