Question

What is transportation?

Answer 1

Transportation in plants is a process of transporting water, minerals and food material to all parts of the plant. Xylem and phloem are two conducting tissues which play an important role in this process. Both are called as vascular bundles. Xylem transports water from roots to all parts of the plant through root hairs. Phloem transports minerals and food material to all parts of the plant.
