The vascular tissue by which water and minerals are transported through a fern is called
A) xylem.
B) stigma.
C) phloem.
D) absent in roots.
E) produced by stomata.
Xylem
Vascular tissue that transports water and mineral solutes upward through the plant body; it contains vessel elements and tracheids.
Phloem
The vascular tissue in plants responsible for the transport of sugars and other metabolic products downward from the leaves.
Vascular Tissue
Transport tissue in plants, consisting of xylem and phloem.

Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
Xylem is the vascular tissue responsible for transporting water and minerals in plants, including ferns. Stigma is the sticky surface on the top of the female reproductive structure in flowers. Phloem is the vascular tissue responsible for transporting sugars and other organic compounds in plants. It is also not true that vascular tissue is absent in roots. Finally, stomata are small openings on the surface of leaves that allow for gas exchange and do not produce vascular tissue.
