Discussion
Read the following statements carefully and choose the correct options :
Statement (A) : Xylem transports water and minerals from roots to rest of the plant.
Statement (B) : Phloem translocates food from leaves to various parts of the plant.
Answer: A
Both (A) and (B) are true.
Xylem is the plant tissue that carries water and dissolved minerals upward from the roots to the stem, leaves and other parts. Phloem carries the food made in the leaves during photosynthesis, mainly sugars, to all parts of the plant, a process called translocation.
Both statements describe the two transport tissues correctly, so the options calling either one false are wrong.
