A waxy barrier in the plant root.
The waxy barrier in the plant root prevents molecules that are in the cell walls from entering the xylem directly. To move into the xylem, molecules must first cross a plasma membrane and enter the cytoplasm of a root cell. This allows a plant to be selective about what enters the xylem.

Selective breeding is when you mate specific plants or animals to pass on a certain genetic trait they may have. For example, if you have two horses with very strong hearts then you may want to breed them so that their offspring may also have a strong heart.
