What is xylem vessel?
xylem vessel is a vessel in plants that transport water and minerals from the roots to parts of the plant where it is needed, through transpiration and turgor pressure in roots.
In angiosperms xylem consists of tracheids and?
vessel elements
What is the difference between xylem vessel and root hair cell?
a xylem vessel is a part of a plant and a root hair cell is a root of the plant
What is a xylem vessel for?
Xylem vessels are water conducting tubes of the plant
Stacked end to end these xylem cells form a tube called a vessel?
Vessel elements are the individual cells that make up the vessel. Vessel elements are in the xylem and are dead when functioning. They function to carry water and minerals upward in the stem and root.
Why it is called as xylem vessel but not xylem cell?
Because xylem is a vessel that water travels through.

Which tube is wider xylem vessel or phloem vessel?
Phloem as it transports sugars two ways
Vessel that transports water and minerals?
blood vessles
What are the similarities between xylem vessels and xylem fibers?
Fibre long and thin, vessel short and thick, fibre offers a structural support, xylem vessel transports water, both are dead cells both consist of strength offered lignin
