Question

what is xylem tissue?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Xylem is one of the two types of transport tissue in vascular plants, the other being phloem. The basic function of xylem is to transport water from roots to stems and leaves, but it also transports nutrients. The word "xylem" is derived from the Greek word ξύλον (xylon), meaning "wood"; the best-known xylem tissue is wood, though it is found throughout a plant. The term was introduced by Carl Nägeli in 1858.

Answer 2

Answer:

Xylem is formed of thick walled, tubular and often dead cells.

• These cells are placed end to end
• The partition between the cells dissolve to form long channels for the transport of water and minerals.
