Answer 2

Answer:

• Xylem parenchyma are (a) living cells.

Explanations:

$\hookrightarrow$ What is xylem?

• Xylem is a type of vascular tissue present in plants, which primarily transports water and nutrients from roots to stem and to leaves.

$\hookrightarrow$ How many types of Xylem are there?

• Tracheids
• Xylem Vessels
• Xylem Fibre
• Xylem Parenchyma

$\hookrightarrow$ Xylem Parenchyma:

• Only living cells of Xylem
• Store starch and fat
• They are responsible for short distance transportation of water

So, the correct option will be (a) Living Cells because Xylem parenchyma aren't dead cells, nor transport water and doesn't provide mechanical support.

Extra Information:

• Xylem originates from the Greek word “xylon” that means "wood".
• Carl Nägeli coined the word xylem in 1858.
