functions of tracheids and vessels and xylemfibres and xylem parenchyma
Answers
Xylem-
->It consists of tracheid ,vessels ,xylem parenchyma and xylem fibres.
->Tracheids and vessels ,both are similar in structure and have similar function.
->Tracheids and vessels are hollow tube like structures which help in conducting water.
->Xylem fibres help in giving the xylem mechanical support.
->Xylem parenchyma helps by storing food inside it.
These are all the basic functions of the different parts of water conducting tissue Xylem.
Tracheids are elongated , tube like cells with thick and lignified walls and tapering ends, these act as water transporting elements in plants.
Vessel is a long cylindrical tube like structure made up of many cells with lignified walls and a large central cavity called as vessel members, it also helps in transporting water in plants.
Xylem parenchyma cells are living and thin walled made up of cellulose. Their function is to store food material in the form of fat or starch.
Xylem fibres present in xylem having highly thickened walls and obliterated central lumen. They provide mechanical support.
This is the answer..
