Which vascular tissue is primarily responsible for the unidirectional transport of water and minerals in Phanerogams?
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Xylem
Xylem is the specialized vascular tissue that conducts water and dissolved minerals from the roots to the rest of the plant. In Phanerogams, this process is driven largely by transpiration pull and root pressure.
