Xylemis formed of thick-walled,tubular and often dead cells.The cells are placed end to end like drain pipes ,and the partitions between the cell dissolve to form long pipelines for the transport of water and minerals. Xylem cells transport water and minerals absorbed by the roots from the soil. They transport them to leaves where glucose is prepared during photosynthesis. Old Xylem forms wood and does not participate in transport.
