Question

Xylem and phloem are the types of vascular tissues.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

Xylem is responsible for transport of water and dissolved minerals from the root to the leaf of a plant. This movement is one way, i.e. it is unidirectional. Phloem helps in the translocation of the photosynthetic products from the leaves to various parts of the plant. Since their basic activity is conduction, hence they are known as conducting or vascular tissues.
