Answer;
Transport nutrients and water from below-ground tissues to above-ground tissues and grow taller.
Explanation;
- Xylem and phloem form the vascular system of plants to transport water and other substances throughout the plant.
- Xylem transports and stores water and water-soluble nutrients in vascular plants.
- Phloem is responsible for transporting sugars, proteins, and other organic molecules in plants.
- Vascular plants are able to grow higher than other plants due to the rigidity of xylem cells, which support the plant.
