Minerals absorbed by roots move to the leaf through 'Xylem'.
Option: A
Explanation:
- The phloem and the sieve tubes are mainly responsible for translocation of sugars in the plant. These cells are living cells.
- However, movement of minerals and water are said to be a physical process and it does not require any living cells for translocation.
- On the other hand, Xylem cells are non – living cells and can transport water and minerals physically and not physiologically. Usually, Xylem vessels are used for transporting salts and water.
- They are composed of tracheids, parenchyma, and fibres.
