Answer 1

The correct option is C

Stem

Water is transported to the leaf for photosynthesis and food is transported from the leaf to different parts of the plant through the stem as it is the link connecting the different parts of the plant. In plants, xylem and phloem are the conducting tissues. Xylem carries water and mineral salts upward from the root to different parts of shoots whereas phloem conducts food materials bidirectionally.
