Xylem transports water and mineral salts from the roots up to other parts of the plant and phloem transports sugars and amino acids between the leaves and other parts of the plant.

Answer:

which structure transports water and nutrients from the roots of the rest of the plant

Step-by-step explanation:

Part of the soil is constituted by roots of plants and remains of decaying plant organisms. On the ground develops the vegetal mantle, which in turn protects the soil from erosion.

For their nutrition, the green plants take, through their roots, the minerals dissolved in the water of the soil, and through their leaves obtain carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere. These components are transformed into food for the plant, thanks to the process of photosynthesis, in which the chlorophyll present in the leaves intervenes.

The answer is: The process of photosynthesis.
