Minerals absorbed by root move to the leaf through (a) xylem (b) phloem (c) sieve tubes (d) none of the above.
Option A Minerals absorbed by roots move to the leaf through xylem. Xylem plays an important role in conduction of water. Hence, when water moves upward through xylem, minerals are also absorbed by the roots and move towards leaves through xylem only. This is known as ascent of sap.
