Solution

The correct options are
A xylem

Plants prepare their own food through a process called photosynthesis. During this process plants utilise carbon dioxide and water. They absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and water from the soil via the roots. Water that is absorbed is transported to all parts of the plant through the xylem.
