Correct option is B
The correct answer is (b) Xylem.
· Xylem is the plant tissue responsible for carrying water and dissolved minerals from the roots to other parts of the plant.
· It plays a crucial role in the plant's vascular system and supports water transport against gravity through capillary action and transpiration pull.
Information Booster:
· Phylum: This term does not relate to plant tissues; it's a taxonomic classification.
· Stomata: Pores on the leaf surface that facilitate gas exchange but do not transport water.
· Chlorophyll: The green pigment in plants used for photosynthesis, not related to water transport.
