Solution

The correct option is D Upward movement of water
The stem is the part of the plant which develops from the shoot after germination. Its main function is to help in the movement of water which is absorbed by the roots to different parts of the plant. The stem provides support to the plant and helps in keeping the plant erect. It also bears leaves, branches, flowers, fruits, etc.
