Xylem is one of two types of vascular tissues found in plant (the other being Phloem). The word Xylem is derived from the Greek for "wood".
The xylem is responsible for the transport (translocation) of water and soluble mineral nutrients from the roots throughout the plant, this facilitates the replacement of water lost during transpiration and photosynthesis.
In general terms, Xylem transports water and minerals in an upward direction in the plant; Phloem transports water and dissolved sugars (the process of photosynthesis) in a (generally) downward direction within the plant.
The xylem and phloem are bundled into "veins" within the leaves and run through the stem and into the roots of the plant. These "fibrovascular bundles" provide added support to the leaves and stem.
Xylem (and Phloem) arrangement is different in monocotyledonous and dicotyledonous plants, and is one of the characteristics used to distinguish between the two.
the part of the vascalar system that moves water and minerals through the planet
An example of xylem would be roots soaking up water from the ground
Xylem tissue is a type of plant tissue, used for the transportation of water and nutrients up from the roots. The simplest example of xylem tissue is wood.
Xylem is the vascular tissues that conducts water and minerals from the roots of the plant to the leaves of the plant.

The Xylem of a plant transports water and some nutrients.
The Xylem of a plant transports water and some nutrients.
A xylem, core of a plant, distributes water and nutrients through the plant.
Xylem gets water from the roots of a plant
If xylem in a vascular plant does not function properly conduction of water and minerals become difficult. this results in the retardation of growth.

The Xylem of a plant transports water and some nutrients.
xylem and phloem are both in plants, xylem are like he veins in a plant, they carry water to the top of the plant
