Question

Which of the following contains xylem vessels?

• A. Bryophyta
• B. Pteridophyta
• C. Both A and B
• D. Angiosperms

Answer 1

The correct option is D Angiosperms

The presence of xylem vessels is a characteristic feature of the angiosperms. These long cylindrical tube-like vessels help in the transportation of water from the roots to the other parts of the plant. The four kinds of elements of xylem are:

1. Tracheids
2. Vessels
3. Xylem fibres
4. Xylem parenchyma

Bryophytes do not possess vascular tissue and pteridophytes possess vascular tissue but without vessels.

So, the correct answer is 'Angiosperms'.
