Predict how a plant would be affected if its xylem is dysfunctional?

a. different parts of the plant will not get nutrients.
b. the plant will not receive water.
c. the plant will lose its rigidity.
d. the plant will not receive sunlight.

B. The plant will not receive water.

Explanation:

The primary function of xylem in plants is transporting water from the roots. That transported water then goes into the different parts of the plant.

Xylem is one kind of tissue that is essential for the plants. If removed or become dysfunctional in the plant,  the movement of water from the roots upwards will stop.

This will deny the different parts of the plant from getting water.

As a result, different parts of the plant won't get water, and finally, the plant will die eventually.

I believe the answer is B.

Explanation: Xylem is an important part of a plant that transports water. In the case that it was dysfunctional, the plant would struggle getting water up the stem.

Hope I could help! :)
