Which of the following is the correct sequence of tissues involved in transport of water from roots to leaves?
- A. Root hairs → phloem → xylem → leaves
- B. Root hairs → xylem → leaves
- C. Leaves → phloem → roots → xylem
- D. Epidermis → phloem → cortex → xylem
Answer: B. Root hairs → xylem → leaves
Water is absorbed by root hairs and transported upward through xylem to the leaves.
