Transport and transpiration in plants

Table 1 shows the mean rate of transpiration from the leaves of a mock orange (Philadelphus) shrub at different air temperatures.

Temperature ( $∘C^\circ\text{C}$ )	Mean rate of transpiration ( $h−1\text{g}\,\text{dm}^{-2}\,\text{h}^{-1}$ )
15	0.4
20	1.2
25	2.8
30	4.5
35	5.2

Name the specialized tissue that is responsible for transporting water and dissolved mineral ions from the roots to the leaves.
