Question

Which of the following traits of land plants allows them to grow in height?

alternation of generations
waxy cuticle
tracheids
sporopollenin

Answer 1

Trachieds

Step-by-step explanation:

• Trachieds are the cells in the xylem- vessels in plants that allow for transportation of water.
• Trachieds are not perforated i.e they do not have pits like phloem does.
• As a result of not being perforated trachieds make the xylem a very strong tissue which can withstand the force of water and hold the land plant up.
