Question

5. Give reasons to the following (AS 1)
- Xylem is a conductive tissue
Epidermis gives protection
xylem is a plant tissue that conducts water and mineral salt observed from the soil to all the plant cell the main cell the xylem are tracheids from that communicate with neighbour neighbouring tubes through force helping in conducts​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Xylem is a conductive tissue: Xylem is a complex vascular tissue, it consists of elements like tracheids and vessels that are dead and conducts water and minerals from the roots to the leaves

Thus, xylem is a conductive tissue.

Epidermis is the outermost tissue layer covering all the organs in a plant. These are closely placed cells and are impervious to water and micro-organisms. They may undergo modifications to form trichomes, may be covered with wax or cuticle to prevent desiccation.

So, epidermis gives protection.
