Pits are essentially holes in the xylem walls. Xylem walls are lignified by lignin, a material impermeable to war. The pits allow water to flow between xylem vessels of the plant - this is known as cross flow.

What types of Organelles are present in Xylem cells?
Vessels are types of advanced xylem cells that are found in angiosperms. An xylem is made up tracheids and both of these cells have pits so that water can move sideways in the stem.
What are the features of xylem?
Xylem is a complex permanent tissue that is made up of four types of cells or elements. These are:- 1. Tracheids 2. Vessels 3. Xylem parenchyma 4. Xylem fibres Among these, only Xylem Fibres are dead and the rest three are living. Xylem is also known as wood. Tracheids and Vessels have 5 types of lignifications: annular (in the form of rings), spiral (as a helix), reticulate (in the form of network), scalariform (as a ladder), and pitted (with small and circular unthickened areas called pits).
What is xylem composed of?
vessel elements, tracheids, fibres, and parenchyma
What are elements of xylem that help in transport of minerals and water?
the elements are :- tracheids, vessels xylem fibres and xylem parenchyma.
How many types of elements together make up the xylem 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 .
