Solution

Vascular tissue is the correct answer.
Plants absorb water and minerals from the ground via roots. Roots have root hairs which increase the surface area for absorption. Plants have a pipe like vessels made of special cells known as vascular tissues which transport minerals, water, and food synthesized by leaves. These vascular tissues are xylem and phloem. Xylem transports water and minerals from roots to leaves through the stems and branches. Phloem transports the food produced by leaves to other parts of the plant body.
