absorb nutrients from the soil

Step-by-step explanation:

The vascular tissues of plants is made of specialized conducting tissues the xylem and phloem.

This tissues form a continuous systems through the plant body and provide pathways for the transport of water, nutrients, signaling molecules and also provide support for plant body against mechanical stresses. The xylem transport water and nutrients from the roots to other parts of the plant while the phloem transport photosynthate the product of photosynthesis from the source where it is produced to other plant part.
