1) The main functions of xylem is to carry water and mineral salt upward from the root to different parts of shoots. 2)Since walls of tracheids, vessels and sclerenchyma of xylem are lignified, they give mechanical strength to plant body.

How many types of elements together make up the xylem tissue?
In Angiosperms , it is xylem vessels ( proto and meta xylem together ) , Xylem sclerenchyma and xylem parenchyma ; together form Xylem tissue ( That is why xylem is called a compound tissue ). In Gymnosperms , xylem vessels are replaced by Xylem tracheids . All other tings are almost the same .
