Solution

Xylem is the vascular tissue that transports water and minerals in plants. It forms a network of channels that connects the root to the stem and the leaves of the plant. Hence, water is transported to various plant parts.

We know that plants manufacture their own food through photosynthesis by using carbon dioxide, water, and sunlight. This process takes place in the leaves.The phloem also forms a network of channels that transports food to the stem and to the roots of the plant.

Thus, xylem and phloem are the vascular tissues in plants that transport water and food respectively to all plant parts.
