What is the function of the xylem?
Conduction of water and minerals
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. Conduction of water and minerals.
Xylem is a specialized plant tissue responsible for the transport of water and dissolved minerals from the roots to the rest of the plant, including the stems and leaves. It plays a vital role in maintaining plant structure and supporting photosynthesis.
Other options Explained:
Conduction of protein: Not a function of xylem; proteins are not typically transported this way.
Conduction of food: This is the function of the phloem, not the xylem.
Conduction of lipids: Lipids are not commonly transported in plants via vascular tissues.
