Xylem is the layer of wood in a tree next to the heartwood (dead center of a tree) and it carries water down and up the tree.
Plants use xylem vessels to transport water and minerals from the roots to the rest of the plant. Xylem vessels also provide structural support to the plant. Additionally, xylem helps in the process of transpiration, which is the loss of water vapor from the plant.
primary xylem is primary in nature & is derived from procambium. But secondary xylem is secondary in nature and derived from fascicular cambium and interfascicular cambium. Primary xylem is differentiated into protoxylem and metaxylem, but secondary xylem has no such differentiation. In primary xylem vessels and tracheids are long and narrow, and vessels don't have tyloses, but in secondary xylem, vessels are blocked by tyloses, and vessels and tracheids are wider and shorter. Xylem fibres are more abundant in secondary xylem , and found in small numbers in primary xylem. Also unlike in primary xylem, secondary xylem has differentiated into sapwood & heartwood.
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 .
Xylem is a one way flow
Vascular tissue
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 WOOD (including lumber, and wood products) You should be able to answer the rest.
Plants use xylem vessels to transport water and minerals from the roots to the rest of the plant. Xylem vessels also provide structural support to the plant. Additionally, xylem helps in the process of transpiration, which is the loss of water vapor from the plant.
All plants use xylem and phloem vessels.
primary xylem is primary in nature & is derived from procambium. But secondary xylem is secondary in nature and derived from fascicular cambium and interfascicular cambium. Primary xylem is differentiated into protoxylem and metaxylem, but secondary xylem has no such differentiation. In primary xylem vessels and tracheids are long and narrow, and vessels don't have tyloses, but in secondary xylem, vessels are blocked by tyloses, and vessels and tracheids are wider and shorter. Xylem fibres are more abundant in secondary xylem , and found in small numbers in primary xylem. Also unlike in primary xylem, secondary xylem has differentiated into sapwood & heartwood.
they use this thin called xylem
Xylem in a plant transports water and nutrients from the roots to the stems and leaves through capillary action. It also provides structural support to the plant.
Vascular plants have xylem
Xylem
Water is transported by the xylem.
This is the vascular tissue xylem.
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 .
