Question

Which of the following tissues transports water and food to all parts of the plant body?

• A. Vascular
• B. Meristematic
• C. Sclerenchyma
• D. Parenchyma

Answer 1

The correct option is A

Vascular

Plants have two types of vascular tissues -xylem and phloem. Xylem conducts water and minerals from the roots to all parts of the plant. Phloem transports the products of photosynthesis from the leaves to all other parts of the plant. Meristematic tissues are actively dividing tissues found in the growing parts of the plant. Sclerenchyma and parenchyma are simple permanent tissues.
