A plant tissue that carries water and mineral salt is?

A. Xylem
B. Cortex
C. Phloem
D. Cambium

Correct Answer:

Option A – Xylem

Explanation

Xylem transports water and mineral salts from the roots up to other parts of the plant, while phloem transports sucrose and amino acids between the leaves and other parts of the plant.

The xylem, vessels, and tracheids of the roots, stems, and leaves are interconnected to form a continuous system of water-conducting channels reaching all parts of the plants.
