Tracheids:1. These are xylem elements found in all types of vascular plants.2. These are single cells with tapering ends, hence are not syncytes.3. Tracheids are shorter in length.Vessels:1. These are also xylem elements but restricted to angiosperms only .2. A vessel is formed by several cells arranged end to end and dissolved cross walls, hence is a syncyte.3. Vessels are much longer than tracheids and are main component for water conduction.
Yes, but some plants lack certain types of xylem and phloem cells such as vessel elements and tracheids. Tracheids have been lost in Wolffia, an aquatic plant, and vessels are not present in all conifers.
Xylem vessel is basically for transporting water, if the cells had other parts in it (like cytoplasm, and etc), the vessel will not be able to support itself and will not be strong enough to carry water. Therefore a mature Xylem vessel must not have any other parts of the cells other than the cell wall. Basically a cell without its other part is a dead cell. So the Mature xylem vessel is a dead tissue which is enhanced with thick lignified cellulose walls, to support or give extra strength to the vessels. To summarize it, the Mature Xylem Vessel in a woody plant has only a cell wall, long hollow vessels with thick lignified cellulose walls, which are dead tissues used to transporting water from the roots to all parts of the plant.
Yes they are eukaryotic multicellular organism and comes under plants
Yes, there are both phloem and xylem in ferns, but they are only in the stem not in the leaves.
There are two different types of water conducting tissues in vascular plants, both of which are constituted as xylem, they are tracheids, and vessel elements. Tracheids are found only in gymnosperms (vascular, non-flowering plants, such as pines), while both types may be found in angiosperms (flowering plants), however, in some cases angiosperms may only have xylem vessels, it depends on the species.

virtually all plants Only vascular plants belonging to Pteridophytes, Gymnosperms and Angiosperms have xylem; others like Algae, Fungi and Bryophytes do not have xylem and therefore these are called non-vascular plants.

Xylem vessel transport water through the plant, and the water is one of the primary reactants needed for photosynthesis.

No, xylem cells are in plants.I think anyway ;)Xylem is seen only in plants.It is the water and mineral conducting tissue
Xylem is a complex permanent tissue that is made up of four types of cells or elements. These are:- 1. Tracheids 2. Vessels 3. Xylem parenchyma 4. Xylem fibres Among these, only Xylem Fibres are dead and the rest three are living. Xylem is also known as wood. Tracheids and Vessels have 5 types of lignifications: annular (in the form of rings), spiral (as a helix), reticulate (in the form of network), scalariform (as a ladder), and pitted (with small and circular unthickened areas called pits).
Some parasitic angiosperms like Orobanchae only can grow without their own photosynthesis
Xylem and phloem, they are two types of vascular tissue.
