Lignin fills the spaces in the cell wall between cellulose, hemicellulose, and pectin components, especially in vascular and support tissues: xylem tracheids, vessel elements and sclereid cells. ... The crosslinking of polysaccharides bylignin is an obstacle for water absorption to the cell wall.

lignin plays several other important biological roles in plants. Because it is much less hydrophilic than cellulose and hemicellulose, it prevents the absorption of water by these polysaccharides in plant cell walls and allows the efficient transport of water in the vascular tissues._____
