Summary Introduction

To suggest: A possible arrangement of vascular tissues in the stem that might account for the arrangement of vascular tissue in the leaf from the given statements (a) and (b).

Introduction: Vascular plants consist of two specialized tissues called xylem and phloem that act as a conducting tube in plants for the transportation of water and sugar molecules throughout the plant. The xylem vessel helps in transporting the water and minerals from the roots to the leaves, and the phloem vessels are involved in transporting the prepared food (glucose) from leaves to all parts of the plants.
