List the constituents of xylem. What will happen if the xylem at the root of the
plant is blocked?
Answers
Answer:
Xylem consists of several different types of cells: fibers for support, parenchyma for storage, and tracheary elements for the transport of water. The tracheary elements are arranged as long tubes through which columns of water are raised.
In transpiration pull, the evaporation of water from leaves (mesophyll cells) creates negative pressure or tension in the xylem that pulls the water from the roots and soil. But if we block the xylem at root, transpiration pull also get affected resulting in wilting of plants.
