☞Tracheids
→They are unicellular.
→Their ends are tapering and oblique.
→They are small in size.
→They are more lignified and have so many narrow lumens.
→They are found in pteridophtes (ferns), gymnosperms and a few angiosperms.
☞Vessels
→They are multicellular.
→Their ends are rounded or transverse.
→They are large in size.
→They are less lignified and have so many wide lumen.
→They are found only in angiosperms.
