what are the tubes called that carry water up the plant?
a xylem
b phloem
c roots
d stems

Explanation:

In plant biology, xylem is the tissue responsible for transporting water and minerals from the roots up to the rest of the plant. Phloem transports organic nutrients (like sugars), roots absorb water, and stems support the plant and have vascular tissues but aren't the tubes specifically for water transport upward. So the correct option is A.

Answer:

A. Xylem
