    Which of the following tissue helps in the flow of water in vascular plant?

    A)  Xylem        

    B)  Phloem

    C)  Cambium     

    D)  Sieve tube cell

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Xylem is responsible for conduction of water i.e., ascent of sap from roots to leaves. It was proved by Malpighi (1675) by girdling or ringing experiment. Cambium is a layer, usually regarded as one or two cells thick, or persistently meristemaric tissue, giving rise to secondary tissues, resulting in growth in diameter. Phloem is the food-conducting tissue, consisting of sieve tube, companion cells, parenchyma and fibers.
