Which tissue is primarily responsible for the transport of water and dissolved minerals in a tree?
APhloem
BXylem
CCambium
DHeartwood
AI Explanation

Xylem is the vascular tissue responsible for transporting water and dissolved minerals from roots to leaves. Phloem does the opposite — it carries sugars produced during photosynthesis downward. A quick way to remember: Xylem = up, Phloem = food.

Why is xylem important for a tree?
Arborist Practice

Xylem is the vascular tissue that transports water and dissolved minerals from the roots upward. It's essential for photosynthesis and gives wood its structural strength.

How does damage to xylem affect the tree?
Arborist Practice

Damaged xylem reduces water transport, causing wilt and dieback. Common causes include boring insects, mechanical wounds, and vascular wilt diseases like Dutch elm disease.

Would that show up on the exam?
