Transports water and nutrients upwards
- Walls made from dead lignin cells, which waterproof and support walls even if water levels are low in plants. - Narrow tubes so water column doesn't break easily. - Pits in walls allow water to move from one cell to another.
Xylem
Xylem and phloem, they are two types of vascular tissue.
In Angiosperms , it is xylem vessels ( proto and meta xylem together ) , Xylem sclerenchyma and xylem parenchyma ; together form Xylem tissue ( That is why xylem is called a compound tissue ). In Gymnosperms , xylem vessels are replaced by Xylem tracheids . All other tings are almost the same .
The vascular cambium tissue makes xylem and phloem.
Tulips have the least amount of xylem tissue.

The Stem
Phloem and xylem are the two main types of vascular tissue found in plants. Xylem is the tissue that mainly carries water, and a few minerals, in the system. Phloem is the tissue that carries photosynthetic materials through the plant.
Xylem is a type of plant tissue.
