Solution
The sentence that describes the cells of ground tissue in the nongreen parts of plants is D. They have large vacuoles that store materials.
Here's why:
A. They have hairlike extensions that absorb water. This describes root hair cells, which are specialized for water absorption in the roots, not the ground tissue.
B. They consist of hollow tubes that transport materials. This describes the cells of the vascular tissue (xylem and phloem), not the ground tissue.
C. They contain chloroplasts for photosynthesis. This is not correct because the question specifically refers to the "nongreen" parts of plants, which do not perform photosynthesis.
D. They have large vacuoles that store materials. This is correct. Ground tissue cells in the nongreen parts of plants often have large vacuoles for the storage of materials like water, nutrients, and waste products.
