Answer:

XYLEM

Step-by-step explanation:

the straws that transport water and minerals up from the roots to the leaves are called xylem(s) (zy-lem).

Try imagining that each straw is actually a certain type of cell stacked one on top of the other creating a tube.

Answer:

xylem

Step-by-step explanation:

Just as animals, plants also contain vascular tissues (xylem), which transports water and minerals up from the roots to the leaves, and phloem, which transports sugar molecules, amino acids, and hormones both up and down through the plant.
