Xylem is one of two types of vascular tissues found in plant (the other being Phloem). The word Xylem is derived from the Greek for "wood".
The xylem is responsible for the transport (translocation) of water and soluble mineral nutrients from the roots throughout the plant, this facilitates the replacement of water lost during transpiration and photosynthesis.
In general terms, Xylem transports water and minerals in an upward direction in the plant; Phloem transports water and dissolved sugars (the process of photosynthesis) in a (generally) downward direction within the plant.
The xylem and phloem are bundled into "veins" within the leaves and run through the stem and into the roots of the plant. These "fibrovascular bundles" provide added support to the leaves and stem.
Xylem (and Phloem) arrangement is different in monocotyledonous and dicotyledonous plants, and is one of the characteristics used to distinguish between the two.
the part of the vascalar system that moves water and minerals through the planet
The Xylem of a plant transports water and some nutrients.
The Xylem of a plant transports water and some nutrients.
The xylem gets water from the roots of the plant through the process of transpiration and root pressure. Water is absorbed by the plant's roots from the soil and transported through the xylem tissues to the rest of the plant.

xylem and phloem are both in plants, xylem are like he veins in a plant, they carry water to the top of the plant

Sap rises through the xylem of the plant. The xylem is one of the two transportation materials in a plant.
Plants use xylem vessels to transport water and minerals from the roots to the rest of the plant. Xylem vessels also provide structural support to the plant. Additionally, xylem helps in the process of transpiration, which is the loss of water vapor from the plant.
In botany, xylem are a type of vessel in a plant. Its main purpose is to transport water and minerals from the roots to the rest of the plant.
The xylem transports water and nutrients from the roots to the leaves.
