Which tissue is responsible for the conduction of water in plants?

Xylem

The correct answer is Option (2) – Xylem

Xylem tissue is responsible for the conduction of water in plants .Xylem consists of tracheids, vessels, xylem parenchyma  and xylem fibres. Tracheids and vessels have thick walls, and many are dead cells when mature. Tracheids and vessels are tubular structures. This allows them to transport water and minerals vertically. The parenchyma stores food. Xylem fibres are mainly supportive in function.
