Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Tracheary elements are the specialized conducting cells in the xylem that transport water and minerals from the roots to the rest of the plant. Sieve tube elements are part of the phloem and are involved in the transport of nutrients such as sugars. Sclerenchyma cells provide structural support to the plant, but are not directly involved in water transport. Xylem is the tissue in which tracheary elements are found. Therefore, option A is the correct choice.
