Question

What are the elements of the transport system in a highly organized plant?

Answer 1

Inhighly organized plants, vascular tissues (Xylem and Phloem) are the main components of transportation system. In general, xylem carries thewater and minerals from roots to the aerial parts of the plants, whereas phloem carries food from leaves to other parts of the plants.

Answer 2

In highly organised plants there are two conducting tissues xylem and phloem .

Xylem consists of vessels , tracheids and other xylem tissues . The interconnected vessels and tracheids form a continuous system of water conducting channels reaching all parts of the plant . Xylem carries water and minerals .

Phloem conducts soluble products of photosynthesis from leaves to different parts of the plant body .
