Question

The vascular tissues are

• A. only xylem
• B. only phloem
• C. both xylem and phloem
• D. cotyledons

Answer 1

The correct option is C both xylem and phloem

The vascular tissues are a group of cells that combinedly work together to conduct water and nutrients for long distances in tall plants. For example - xylem and phloem. Xylem conducts water and phloem conducts nutrients. Thallophytes and bryophytes lack the vascular tissues and hence, do not grow taller. So, they are called non-vascular plants.

Cotyledons are the first seed leaves in the plants in the division angiosperms.
