Question

For the transport of water, plants have:

• A. Phloem
• B. Stomata
• C. Pith
• D. Xylem

Hint:

Xylem vessels are specialized for water and mineral transport in plants, and phloem vessels are specialized for transporting food.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Step 1: Understand the role of plant tissues. -
Phloem is responsible for transporting the products of photosynthesis (mainly sugars) throughout the plant. -
Stomata are pores found on the leaves and stems that allow for gas exchange and transpiration, but they are not responsible for water transport. -
Pith is a tissue found in the center of plant stems and is mainly involved in storage, not water transport. -
Xylem is the tissue responsible for transporting water and minerals from the roots to other parts of the plant.
Step 2: Conclude. Thus, plants use
xylem for the transport of water.
