Answer 2

Explanation:

Xylem is the specialised tissue of vascular plants that transports water and nutrients from the plant–soil interface to stems and leaves, and provides mechanical support and storage. The water‐conducting function of xylem is one of the major distinguishing features of vascular plants.

The main function of xylem is to carry water and mineral salts upward from the root to different parts of shoots, hence also called water conducting tissue. Since walls of tracheids, vessels and sclerenchyma of xylem are lignified, they give mechanical strength to the plant body.
