Solution

The correct option is A Both Statement 1 and Statement 2 are incorrect
Xylem tissue transports water and minerals in one direction only i.e. from roots to the leaves while phloem translocates food from the leaves to the storage organs such as roots, fruits and seeds and also from the roots to the growing organs of the plants. Hence the translocation of food is done in a bidirectional manner.
