The threads connected by the broken lotus roots belong to conductive tissue.

Lotus root silk is a tissue that transports water and nutrients, called vessels and tracheids. These tissues extend in all directions within the plant body, and are as unobstructed in leaves, stems, flowers, fruits and other organs as blood vessels are in the animal body. The filaments exposed after breaking the lotus root can transport water, inorganic salts and organic matter because there are conduits and sieve tubes inside it, so the filaments in the lotus root belong to the conductive tissue.
