Xylem is a type of plant tissue that transports water and minerals from the roots to the rest of the plant. It consists of specialized cells called tracheids and vessel elements that are interconnected to form hollow tubes. As water evaporates from the leaves, it creates a suction force that pulls water up through the xylem vessels due to the cohesive and adhesive properties of water.
