Question

Trachea, tracheids, wood fibres and parenchymatous tissues are found in

• A. Xylem
• B. Cambium
• C. Cortex
• D. Phloem

Answer 1

The correct option is A Xylem

The vascular plants have two important tissues for transportation of water and minerals i.e., xylem and phloem. The basic function of xylem is to transport water and dissolved minerals from roots to shoot and leaves. It is composed of trachea, tracheids, wood fibres and parenchymatous tissues. Tracheids and the tracheae are essential elements since they are directly involved in the translocation of water and mineral substances while xylem fibers and xylem parenchyma are supporting structures.

So, the correct answer is option A.
