- 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.

∙ 13y agoXylem is a complex tissue, as it consists of both parenchymatous and sclerenchymatous cells. Xylem consists of living and non-living cells. Xylem is composed of four elements- (a) tracheids (b) vessels (c) xylem parenchyma (d) xylem fibres.

Why it is called as xylem vessel but not xylem cell?
Because xylem is a vessel that water travels through.
What tissue moves water up from plants roots?
The tissue responsible for moving water up from the plant roots is called xylem. Xylem consists of specialized cells called tracheids and vessel elements that form a network of interconnected tubes. These tubes allow water to be transported upwards through the plant, from the roots to the leaves.
What level of organization is xylem classified?
Xylem is classified as a tissue
What are the tubes called in plants the carry water into the plant?
This is the vascular tissue xylem.
What term describes wood secondary xylem epidermal tissue primary vascular tissue or secondary phloem?
Secondary xylem
What is the role of xylem in the vascular plant?
Transports water and nutrients upwards
Why xylem is a tissue?
The most distinctive cells found in xylem are the tracheary elements, that is tracheids and vessel elements. However, the xylem is a complex tissue of plants, which means that it includes more than one type of cell. This is why it is a tissue not a cell.
Why it is called as xylem vessel but not xylem cell?
Because xylem is a vessel that water travels through.
What is a woody tissue of a plant?
Xylem
What tissues is found in the veins of the plants?
Xylem and phloem, they are two types of vascular tissue.
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 .
Which of these plant tissue types is composed of hollow nonliving tracheids and vessel elements that transport water and nutrient minerals from the roots to the leaves?
xylem
Part of the root transports water?
there is a vascular tissue called as xylem vessel through which the water flows from the root to the stem, branches, leaves.
What is the tissue that makes xylem and phloem?
The vascular cambium tissue makes xylem and phloem.
What is xylem vessel?
xylem vessel is a vessel in plants that transport water and minerals from the roots to parts of the plant where it is needed, through transpiration and turgor pressure in roots.
What key cells are in xylem?
Tissues that make up of xylem are xylem vessels, tracheids, sclerenchyma tissue (fibres) and parenchyma tissue.
What types of plants have the least amount of xylem tissue?
Tulips have the least amount of xylem tissue.
