Which complex plant tissue is responsible for the upward conduction of water and minerals from roots to leaves?
APhloem
BParenchyma
CXylem
DCollenchyma
Step-by-Step Solution
  1. Step 1: Understand the transport function

    The question asks for the tissue that conducts water and minerals upward.
  2. Step 2: Recall functions of complex tissues

    Xylem transports water and minerals from roots to leaves; phloem transports food; parenchyma and collenchyma are simple tissues mainly for storage and support.
  3. Final Answer:

    Xylem → Option C
  4. Quick Check:

    Water transport tissue = Xylem ✅
Quick Trick: Remember 'Xylem Up, Phloem Down' mnemonic.
Common Mistakes:
  • Mistaking phloem for water transport instead of food transport.
