Best Answer

Xylem is the vascular tissue responsible for the transport of water and nutrients from the roots in the soil to the above-ground parts of the plant. Hormones and other small molecules also travel through the xylem as they are moved throughout the plant.

Xylem are just made up from cell walls left from cells, making hollow tubes. The walls of these tubes are hydrophilic, so water attaches readily to them, helping it to climb on its way up the plant.
