What transports water and minerals in plants?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Xylem
The governing concept is transport in plants. Roots absorb water and mineral ions from the soil, and xylem tissue carries them mainly upward through vessels and tracheids to stems and leaves. Transpiration pull, along with root pressure and cohesion, supports this movement. Phloem transports food, stomata regulate gas exchange and chlorophyll absorbs light, so option A is correct.
