Which tissue of plants conducts food to its body?
Correct answer: A. Phloem
- A. Phloem
- B. Parenchyma
- C. Xylem
- D. None of the above
Explanation
Phloem transports organic food, mainly sucrose made during photosynthesis, from source tissues to growing or storage regions of the plant. Students may choose xylem because it is another conducting tissue, but xylem carries water and mineral ions rather than manufactured food.
