Answer:

Xylem is called dead tissue or non-living tissue, because all the components present in this tissue are dead, except xylem parenchyma. The xylem tissues lack cell organelles, which are involved in storing and transporting more quantity of water with the plant cells.

All the components of xylem except xylem parenchyma are dead, hence xylem is a non-living tissue. The main function of xylem is conduction of water. For this the xylem elements need to form a narrow tube like structure, so that water can rise in the tube through capillary action.
