The vascular tissue responsible for transporting water and dissolved minerals from the roots to the leaves is called xylem. Xylem consists of specialized cells that form a network of tubes, allowing for the upward movement of water through a process driven by transpiration. This tissue plays a crucial role in maintaining the plant's hydration and nutrient distribution.
Vascular plants have vascular tissue that are specially designed for transporting water and solutes (minerals, nutrients) within the plant. The vascular tissue has xylem tubes, made of dead cells, which transports water and dissolved minerals via evaporation in the leaf veins. There is also phloem tubes in the vascular tissue that pump sugars in and out.

xylem is active when it is dead and it transports water and dissolved minerals from roots to all parts of a plant phloem transports sugars
The function responsible for moving water and dissolved minerals from roots up the stem to the leaves is capillary action. This process relies on the cohesion and adhesion properties of water molecules to move up the plant's vascular tissues.
Iron and other minerals enter vegetables through the soil in which they are grown. Plants absorb these nutrients through their roots, utilizing water and minerals dissolved in the soil. The minerals are then transported through the plant's vascular system, where they become part of the plant's tissues. Factors such as soil composition, pH, and the presence of organic matter can influence the availability of these minerals to plants.
Vascular, it's stem contains vascular bundles consisting of phloem (for carrying photosynthetic pruducts such as sugars) and xylem (used to transport water and dissolved minerals up from the roots). Also a question from me, what group of vascular plants does celery belong to.
There are two types of vascular tissue that aid in transport and there are two substances that are transported. Xylem transports water and dissolved minerals and phloem transports sugar (sap).

"The xylem of a plant is the system of tubes and transport cells that circulates water and dissolved minerals."-From a website I remembered in biology class. (Check related links)

They both carry minerals and food
