Question

explain xylem and explain its part also

Answer 1

XYLEM :-
Xylem is a type of tissue in vascular plants that transports water and some nutrients from the roots to the leaves. Phloem is the other type of transport tissue; it transports sucrose and other nutrients throughout the plant. Xylem and phloem give vascular plants their classification; they are the vascular tissues that transport substances throughout the plant.


IT'S PARTS:-
Xylem is made up of several types of cells. Tracheids are long cells that help transport xylem sap and also provide structural support. Vessel elements are shorter than tracheids, but also help conduct water. They are found in flowering plants, but not in gymnosperms like pine trees. Vessel elements have perforation plates that connect each vessel element to form one continuous vessel. Xylem also contains parenchyma, a tissue that makes up most of the soft parts of plants, and long fibers that help support the plant. In a cross section of a plant, under a microscope, xylem appears star-shaped.
