what is xylem?

Answer 1

Answer:

the vascular tissue in plants which conducts water and dissolved nutrients upwards from the root and also helps to form the woody element in the stem.

Answer 2

Explanation:

Xylem is a type of tissue in vascular plants that transports water and

some nutrients from the roots to the leaves. Xylem and phloem give vascular plants their classification; they are the vascular tissues that transport substances throughout the plant.

The xylem consists of tracheary elements, xylem parenchyma cells, and xylem fiber cells. Tracheary elements are dead, hollow cells with patterned cell walls comprising xylem vessels

and tracheids, which function as conductive hollow tubes for water and nutrient transport

throughout the plant body.
