Which of the following statements is INCORRECT regarding plants?

1. Roots take water from the soil
2. Phloem tubes are cells specialized for water transport
3. Chlorophyll absorbs light
4. Stomata are pores for gaseous exchange

Correct answer: Phloem tubes are cells specialized for water transport

Solution

Roots absorb water from the soil, chlorophyll absorbs light for photosynthesis, and stomata help in gaseous exchange. Phloem transports food, while xylem transports water, so the phloem statement is incorrect.
