Correct Answer: Xylem parenchyma


Solution : The correct option is Xylem parenchyma

A xylem is a vascular or conductive tissue that is in charge of carrying water and minerals from roots to other parts of plants. Tracheids, vessels, xylem parenchyma and xylem fibres are the four cell types that make up this structure. All of these cells, except xylem parenchyma, are dead. The xylem parenchyma stores food and conducts water laterally. Tracheids and vessels carry water and minerals vertically and fibres provide support.
