Plant Transport and Physiology

Phloem carries sugar and nutrients from leaves to all other parts of the tree.

This is the correct answer. The water required by the plants for photosynthesis is absorbed by the roots of the plants from the soil through the process of osmosis.

This is the correct answer. 

This is the correct answer as both the statements are correct.

Presence of scale leaves qualifies a potato to be a stem.

Xerophytes (plants adapted to dry conditions) show the most advanced morphological and physiological adaptations including reduced leaves, thick cuticles, sunken stomata, extensive root systems, and CAM photosynthesis. While hydrophytes and halophytes also have adaptations, xerophytic adaptations are most diverse and specialized.

Capillary water is held in soil pores by surface tension and is the primary water source available to plant roots. Gravitational water drains away, hygroscopic water is too tightly bound to soil particles, and combined water is chemically bound in minerals.

plant recovers to normal state after temporary wilting when it absorbs enough water

It is the deposition in the cork cells of higher plants that maes in water proff

it stores plant to resist the drought conditions

Stipules perform all the functions, i.e. photosynthesis, support and protection, depending upon the way they are modified.

Plants excrete waste materials in solid or semi-solid forms like gums, resins, latex, and rubber. These substances are byproducts of plant metabolism that are stored in specialized cells or ducts. Oxygen and carbon dioxide are involved in gas exchange, not excretory waste secretion in this context.
