Q: Like the stem, what basic plant structure contains vascular bundles composed of xylem and phloem?


Read this paragraph and choose the correct option from the provided answers:

Like the stem, the leaf contains vascular bundles composed of xylem and phloem (Figure 30.27). The xylem consists of tracheids and vessels, which transport water and minerals to the leaves. The phloem transports the photosynthetic products from the leaf to the other parts of the plant. A single vascular bundle, no matter how large or small, always contains both xylem and phloem tissues.

 Choices:

- root

- flower

- bark

- leaf


A:
leaf
