Answer:
Correct Answer: B
Solution:
- Tracheids are elongated cells in the xylem of vascular plants that serve in the transport of water and mineral salts. Unlike vessel elements, which have perforations, tracheids do not have perforations and are therefore considered imperforate. This characteristic helps in distinguishing tracheids from other tracheary elements.
