Answer;

water and inorganic nutrients

Explanation;

  • Xylem is the tissue of vascular plants that transports water and nutrients from the soil to the stems and leaves.
  • The main function of xylem is to transport water, and some soluble nutrients including minerals and inorganic ions, upwards from the roots to the rest of the plant.
  • Additionally, it plays an essential role of providing strength to tissues and organs, to maintain plant structure and resistance to bending.
