Xylem is a type of cell that distributes water throughout a plant. They have specialized cells that help water flow up a plant, to get where it is needed.
No, xylem cells do not have cell membranes. Xylem cells are part of the plant's vascular system and are dead at maturity, so they lack cell membranes. Instead, xylem cells are composed primarily of cell walls that provide structural support and allow for the transport of water and minerals.
Xylem cells carry water and nutrients from the roots to other parts of a plant.
Xylem cells are strengthened by a substance called lignin. This strengthening is necessary because as water is pulled through the xylem it creates a pull on the cell walls which would cause the xylem to collapse, just like a paper straw collapses if it gets too wet.
.They are cylindrical and are connected to each other. .It has a Long narrow tube with hollow continuous space called lumen. .Vessels are dead with no protoplasm or cross walls hence allowing smooth flow of water .Waxy lignin deposited on walls strengthen walls and prevent collapse of vessels
Sclerenchyma cells provide support in plants and are typically dead at maturity. These cells have thick, lignified cell walls that provide structural support to the plant's tissues.
store water
The xylem tube contain a ring of lignin which forms a spiral pattern around the xylem tube. The xylem is made up of water proof, dead cells; which enables it to have high capacity for transporting large quantity of water

The xylem takes water up from the roots of a plant to the leaves.
the xylem transports water and the phloem transports organic substances.
The main function of xylem within a plant is to transport water and minerals from the roots up to the actual plant itself.

Tylosis is an out growth from a neighbouring cell to inside a xylem cell .
it is used for plants
