☯ Explanation ☯
Xylem Definition:
Xylem is a type of tissue in vascular plants that transports water and some nutrients from the roots to the leaves. Phloem is the other type of transport tissue; it transports sucrose and other nutrients throughout the plant. Xylem and phloem give vascular plants their classification; they are the vascular tissues that transport substances throughout the plant.
Function of Xylem:
>The main function of xylem is to transport water, and some soluble nutrients including minerals and inorganic ions, upwards from the roots to the rest of the plant.
> Xylem cells form long tubes that transport materials, and the mixture of water and nutrients that flows through the xylem cells is called xylem sap.
>These substances are transported through passive transport, so the process doesn’t require energy.
>The phenomenon that allows xylem sap to flow upwards against gravity is called capillary action. This occurs when surface tension makes liquid move upward.
>Water is also aided in moving up through the xylem by adhering to the xylem cells.
>However, it gets harder to work against gravity to transport materials as a plant grows taller, so xylem sets an upper limit on the growth of tall trees.
⚽ Valuable points:
•Xylem is the tissue of vascular plants that transports water and nutrients from the soil to the stems and leaves.
•Xylem plays an essential ‘supporting’ role providing strength to tissues and organs, to maintain plant architecture and resistance to bending.
•The water‐transporting cells of mature xylem are dead, and therefore the transport of water is mostly a passive process with a very small active root pressure component.
•In most woody plants, xylem grows by the division and differentiation of cells of a bifacial lateral meristem, the vascular cambium, which produces secondary xylem and phloem.
•Xylem is wood, one of the world's most abundant and valuable renewable raw materials.

Answer:
Explanation:
Xylem is a type of complex permanent tissue.
It conducts water and minerals from the root to the leves of the plants.
