The capillary tube is continuous and unbroken (like the xylem), which is essential to the cohesion-tension theory. Both are also 'dead' and thin.

What are the two tubes in a plant stem?
The two main tubes in a plant stem are the xylem and phloem. The xylem transports water and minerals from the roots to the rest of the plant, while the phloem transports sugars produced during photosynthesis to various parts of the plant for energy.
How does xylem tracheids and vessels help the plants when they are placed end to end like tubes?
The xylem tracheids and vessels placed end to end like tubes in plants help in the conduction of water.
What is a xylem vessel for?
Xylem vessels are water conducting tubes of the plant
Where are the water carrying tubes in the plant?
In the xylem tissue in the form of vessels and trachieds
What is the diffference between xylem and phloem?
Xylem contains Vessels, trachieds and xylem parenchyma Phloem consists of sieve tubes, companion cells and phloem parenchyma
What are the tubes in the stems of plants called?
there are two types of vessels or tubes in the stem of a plant; xylem vessels transport water and minerals from the roots, up through the stem of the plant. they are made up of dead cells, and in trees they are seen as wood phloem tubes carry the sap (sugars, cytoplasm, hormones, etc.) from the leaves to wherever they are needed for growth or repairs.
When the hollow tubes in stems of plants that transport water from the root to the rest of the plant are?
The process is capillary action. The part is the xylem
What are the vessels in plants that carry water and nutrients upward?
I think it's the Xylem. They absorb water from the roots, and run through the stem. Then, they carry the water in the vessels to the whole plants, and out through the plants through the leaves stomata.
How does water rise through very fine tubes like xylem vessels?

Why is soil useful for living things?
It provides nutrients and minerals for plants, which is carried up from the root of the plant to it's leaves by the xylem vessels pronounced (Zy.lum) Xylem vessels are long tubes in the plants cells!
Do flowers have xylem tubes?
Flowering plants, or angiosperms, have a vascular system that consists of xylem and phloem tubes. The flowers themselves do have xylem tubes as well, since they require the water and nutrients that xylem brings from the soil. The xylem and phloem of plants are analogous to the blood vessels in animals. Xylem transports water and nutrients that the roots absorb from the soil. Phloem flows from the top of the plant to the roots, bringing the sugary products of photosynthesis to the rest of the plant and to storage structures (e.g. fruit, roots). In short, yes, flowers have xylem tubes.
Where does water transport take place in a plant?
Water is transported through the plant in Xylem vessels, these begin in the roots and end in the leaves of the plant; water is translocated through a combination of "transpirational pull" and capillary action. Xylem is one of two "conductive" tissues responsible for moving water and the products of photosynthesis (glucose) through the plant, the tissue responsible for moving the "food" around is Phloem.
