Which tissue transports food in plants?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Phloem
The governing concept is the translocation of food in plants. Leaves produce sugars by photosynthesis, and phloem transports these sugars from source regions to growing or storage parts of the plant. Hence option B is correct. Xylem carries water and minerals, stomata regulate gas exchange and water loss, and root hairs absorb materials from soil; these distractors do not transport manufactured food through the plant.
