The water conducting tissue generally present in gymnosperm is
(a) vessels
(b) sieve tube
(c) tracheids
(d) xylem fibres

Answers (1)

Answer- (c)
Solution:
Vessels are absent in gymnosperms. Sieve tubes are present in phloem and form a part of the phloem and have no role in the conduction of water. Xylem fibres provide structural rigidity and have no role in the conduction of water. The water-conducting tissue present in gymnosperm is tracheids. These are elongated dead cells with hard lignified walls. They conduct water and do not have open ends like the vessels.
The correct option is – (c) tracheids
