The food conducting tissue of a plant is __________ ?

Correct answer: A. Phloem

  • A. Phloem
  • B. Xylem
  • C. Parenchyma
  • D. Collenchyma

Explanation

Phloem is the living vascular tissue that transports sugars and other organic nutrients from sources such as leaves to consuming or storage regions. Xylem mainly conducts water and mineral salts, while parenchyma and collenchyma provide storage or support rather than long-distance food transport. Students may choose xylem because both xylem and phloem are conducting tissues, but xylem conducts water, not manufactured food.
