Which tissue system is mainly responsible for transporting water and food in a plant?
ADermal tissue system
BGround tissue system
CVascular tissue system
DEpidermal tissue system
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. Vascular tissue system
1. The vascular tissue system consists of xylem and phloem tissues.
2. Xylem transports water and minerals; phloem transports food.
3. So conduction of both water and food is the role of the vascular tissue system.
4. The dermal system only protects and prevents water loss, so it can be ruled out.
