Explanation

Plants produce food through a process called photosynthesis. The manufactured food needs to be transported from the leaves, where it is produced, to other parts of the plant where it is needed. This transportation of food is done by a specialized tissue called vascular tissue. Vascular tissue is made up of two types of tissues: xylem and phloem. Xylem is responsible for transporting water and minerals from the roots to the leaves, while phloem is responsible for transporting manufactured food from the leaves to other parts of the plant. This means that the correct answer to the question is Option B: phloem. Cambium is a type of tissue responsible for the growth of the plant, while cortex is a type of tissue found in the outer layer of the stem and roots of a plant.
