<p>The two main types of transport tissues in plants are xylem and phloem. Xylem transports water and dissolved minerals from the roots to the rest of the plant, while phloem transports sugars (food) produced during photosynthesis from the leaves to other parts of the plant.</p> Signup and view all the answers
