Question

which vascular tissue carries water from the root to the leaf? arteries veins xylem phloem

Explanation:

• Arteries and veins are part of the animal circulatory system, not plant vascular tissue.
• Xylem in plants is responsible for transporting water and minerals from roots to other parts like leaves.
• Phloem transports organic nutrients (like sugars) from leaves to other parts. So the correct option is Xylem.

Answer:

C. Xylem (assuming the options are labeled A: Arteries, B: Veins, C: Xylem, D: Phloem; if labels differ, adjust to the correct label with "Xylem")
