Question

Answer 1

Answer:

Xylem are conduct water and minerals from root to leaves.

Answer 2

The following woods are involved in the transport of water and minerals from root to leaf:

• Sapwood is involved in the transport of water and minerals from the root to the leaf.

• The margin of the second xylem is simple in colour.

• This is called sapwood.
• In the stem and old branches of large trees, only the outer xylem of the sapwood operates in the water supply, while the inner part of the heartwood is made up of a dead but structurally strong xylem.

• In older trees, most of the second xylem is dark brown due to the incorporation of organic matter such as tannins, resins, oils, gums, aromatic substances and essential oils into the middle or inner parts of the stem.
• These materials make it hard, durable and resistant to attacks by small animals and insects.
