Question
which is the primary function of the plant tissue shown in purple?
protect from injury
transport water and nutrients
produce food
supply strength and support
The purple tissue in the diagrams represents vascular tissue (xylem and phloem), which runs through the roots, stems, and leaves of plants. This tissue's core role is moving water, minerals, and organic nutrients throughout the plant. Other options describe functions of different plant tissues: protection is from dermal tissue, food production from photosynthetic tissue, and structural support from ground tissue like sclerenchyma.
