Its part of a plant cell, a tube that carries energy.

-----------------

A Xylem cell is a plant cell. The xylem is the woody part of the tree. It is all of the cells between the pith in the center out to the cambium. The xylem consists of the sapwood and the heartwood. There is no one cell called a "xylem cell". Any cell in the xylem portion of the tree could be called a xylem cell.

The vessels and/or tracheids in the outer few growth rings in the sapwood carries sap or water (with dissolved minerals) up to the leaves. The inner bark cells carry the food made by the leaves down the tree for use and for storage. The ray cells transport the food radially into the tree for growth. Also the rays cells can transport stored food radially outward in times of shortages or special needs. (like repairing damage by weather or disease or insects or animals, etc.)
