Solution
The correct option is B Conduction of water The root hairs of the plant absorbs water and nutrients from the soil. The xylem transports this water to all parts of the plant body. Phloem transports the food prepared in the leaves to all parts of the plant. So, if xylem is removed from a plant, the conduction of water will not happen.
