These multicellular plants all have something in common, other than being autotrophic. Unlike moss and liverworts, they can grow to great heights and survive in diverse environments. This is because there is a system for intercellular communication, that moves substances throughout the plant; water and nutrients up from the ground and glucose from photosynthetic tissue to all parts of the plant. What is responsible for this intercellular interaction in higher plants?

Ahormones
Bplasmodesmata
Cxylem and phloem
Dmeristematic cells

"xylem and phloem" is the one among the following choices given in the question that is responsible for this intercellular interaction in higher plants. he correct option among all the options that are given in the question is the third option or option "C". I hope that this answer has actually come to your help.

Answer;

C) xylem and phloem

Explanation;

-Both Xylem and phloem are referred to as vascular tissue, they play an important role in higher plants, which is mainly transportation of materials through out them. They allow inter-cellular communication through transportation of substances in higher plants.

-Xylem transports water and solutes from the roots to the leaves, phloem transports food from the leaves to the rest of the plant .Phloem is responsible for the transport of sugars from source tissues (photosynthetic leaves) to other tissues of the plant (non-photosynthetic).
