Answer:

The xylem is a tissue which transports water and minerals from the roots up the plant stem and into the leaves. Xylem consists of dead cells. The cells that make up the xylem are adapted to their function: They lose their end walls so the xylem forms a continuous, hollow tube.

Xylem is the structure which supplies water to the plant.

Explanation:

Among vascular plants they have transport system known as Xylem and Phloem.

  • Xylem  is the structure with specialized cells called the tracheid cells and vessels. These transport water and minerals from  the roots throughout the plant.
  • Tracheids are simple elongated cells through which water moves. The water while moving between two cells passes through a pit membrane which prevents unnecessary air from entering the water system.
  • Among angiosperms are highly developed plants the water system found are vessels. These are developed system of transport and transport happens relatively easily.
  • Xylem is also responsible in providing the physical support to the plant to stand strong. They have fiber cells which render support. Some higher plants also develop  a secondary xylem.
