Xylem is water conducting part. It has tracheids, vessels, xylem parenchyma and xylem fibres.
Answer:
Xylem is the permanent complex tissue that plays the main role in the conduction of water and minerals in plants. It consists of four different elements that made complete xylem.
Tracheids are elongated tube-like cells with tapering or round ends with hard and lignified walls and are dead.
Xylem vessels are a row of elongated tube-like cells placed end to end are multicellular with a wide lumen. These are present in angiosperms only.
