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.
