- 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.
Transports water and nutrients upwards
The vascular cambium tissue makes xylem and phloem.
Tulips have the least amount of xylem tissue.
xylem tissue
The Stem
Xylem is a type of plant 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 .
Plant tissue/ conducting tissue
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.
Here is how you use xylem in a sentence, "A plant would hardly survive without the xylem tissue. " This is a transportation tissue which is common in vascular plants.
Xylem is classified as a tissue
