Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Vascular tissue is responsible for distributing water and nutrients throughout the plant body. Ground tissue is involved in storage and photosynthesis. Dermal tissue is responsible for protection of the plant. Roots absorb water and nutrients, but do not distribute them throughout the plant. The shoot system includes leaves, stems, and flowers, which are all involved in photosynthesis and reproduction, but not in distribution of water and nutrients.
