the vascular tissue that transports water and dissolved nutrients from the roots up through the plant is called a.) phloem b.) xylem c.) transport tissue d.) fibrous tissue

Through which vascular tissue does water and nutrients get transported to reach the leaves during transpiration? A.) cuticle B.) parenchyma C.) xylem D.) phloem
Madhur L.
Water transport in vascular plants occurs within the plant's ground tissues, as well as within the xylem. In which structure would you expect water to be transported primarily in the xylem, and not much through ground tissue? Please explain in detail: a) the root, b) the stem, c) the leaf.
