Xylem transports water up to the leaves. Water: Is absorbed from the soil through root hair cells Is transported through the xylem vessels up the stem to theleaves. Evaporates from the leaves ( transpiration ) But the phloem transports nutrients to the leaves.

Answer: Xylem and Phloem

Explanation:

The vascular tissues carry water and minerals from the soil to the leaves where photosynthesis takes place and then the food and nutrients from the leaves to various parts of the plant.

Xylem is hard, complex and made of dead cells that is responsible for the movement of nutrients and water from the soil to the leaves.

Phloem transfers glucose from the leaves to various parts of the plant body.
