Answers
Answer:
1) xylem
2) phloem
3) phloem tissues
4) xylem parenchyma
5) Phloem fibers
Answer:
1) Xylem
Xylem is one of the vascular tissue that helps in the transportation of water that roots absorb to the upper parts like the leaves. The water is used as a raw material in the process of photosynthesis.
2) Phloem
Phloem is the another vascular tissue that helps in the transportation of food from leaves to rest other parts of plant body. They transport bidirectionally.
3) Sieve tube
They are the chief conducting cells of Phloem. They are slender and tube like structures. Their endwalls are perforated by numerous sieve pores and have sieve plates.
4) Xyelm Parenchyma
They are also living cells found in xylem tissue. Red are fun-loving or dead. It helps in storage of food and radial conduction of water.
5) Phloem Fibres
They are made up of dead sclerenchymatous tissue and have dead cells. They are source of many kind of plant fibres like Hemp, Flax etc.
