Why is xylem tissue lignified?
To provide regidity to the plant
What does lignified mean?
Lignified means made hard like wood as the result of the deposition of lignin in the cell walls I found this word in one of the other questions so I decided to search it up myself.
How does xylem differ from pholem?
Xylem is the complex tissue of plants that helps in the transportation of water and nutrients in the plant. Phloem refers to the living tissue which helps in the transportation of food and organic materials in the plant.
What is collenchyma what is its functions?
Collenchyma's cell walls are very thick by pectic substances. They are shaped like hexagons. They have a large vacuole in the center. When the cells die they become sclerenchyma. Then the vacuole becomes an empty thing called a lumen & the cell wall becomes lignified. It's found in plant stems, leaves & flowers.
Are tracheids alive at maturity?
Dead , their walls become lignified. Lignin is waterproof and prevents osmosis occurring so the cell dies.
Do bryophytes have lignified tissue?
Bryophytes are small, low growing plants that are found in moist environments. Bryophytes do not have lignified tissue. Lignified tissue is hard like a tree bark.
It is in plant cells and not human cells it provides support and it separates and sorrounds the plant cell?
Cellulose in living plant cells and Lignified cellulose in non-living plant cells (As in heartwood and outer bark)Phloem
Why is xylem tissue lignified?
To provide regidity to the plant
Are tissues present in phloem lignified?
Nope, only in xylem.
What are differences between collenchyma and sclerenchyma?
collenchyma helps in making food and sclerenchyma gives mechanical support to plant body Edited answer: Collenchyma cells are thick at the corners whereas sclerenchyma cells are lignified all around. Both serve as mechanical tissue.
Where can lignin be found?
A complex polymer, the chief noncarbohydrate constituent of wood, that binds to cellulose fibers and hardens and strengthens the cell walls of plants
What is a vascularity?
Plants that have lignified tissues for conducting water, minerals, and photosynthetic.

What is the structures of nonvascular plant?
Nonvascular plants such as liverworts and mosses don't have this kind of tissue. Without lignified vascular tissue, this liverwort cannot transport nutrients or water from its rhizoids to other cells that are more than a few millimeters away.
Why doesnt wood become powder after hammering?
The wood largely consists of trachieds. these are lignified cells attached to each other by calcium pectate, a substance which works as a cementing material. Therefore due to elasticity of the trachieds, it is difficult to get powder of it by hammering.
What traits are shared by modern gymnosperms and angiosperms?
Pollen transported by wind, lignified xylem, and microscopic gametophytes
