What level of organization is xylem classified?

Xylem is classified as a tissue


Where is the location of cambium in plant?

The cambium is a layer of actively dividing cells located between the xylem and phloem in vascular plants, mainly in the stems and roots. Its primary function is to produce new cells for secondary growth, resulting in the thickening of the plant body.


What is the vascular bundle of stems made up of?

They are made up of xylem and phloem. The xylem's primary function is to transport water, while the phloem transports nutrients.


Xylem have what?

Vascular plants have xylem


What is the function of the cambium?

The cambium is a layer of cells in plants that is responsible for lateral growth, producing new xylem and phloem cells. It plays a key role in secondary growth, increasing the width of stems and roots.


What transports materials throughout plants?

The primary means of transporting materials throughout plants are the vascular tissues, xylem, and phloem. Xylem carries water and minerals from the roots to the rest of the plant, while phloem transports sugars produced through photosynthesis to different parts of the plant for energy or storage.


What are xylem and ploem?

Protoxylem is the first part of the primary vascular tissue in plants called xylem that matures. Its function is to transport water to the shoot in the early stages of the growth of the plant.Metaxylem is a part of primary xylem that differentiates after the protoxylem.


What is the common name for secondary xylem?

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.


Which is the primary source of stem thickening in plants?

The primary source of stem thickening in plants is the vascular cambium, a layer of cells between the xylem and phloem tissues. The vascular cambium is responsible for producing new xylem and phloem cells, which leads to an increase in stem girth over time.


What is precambium?

The precambium is a layer of meristematic tissue found between the primary xylem and phloem in vascular plants. It is responsible for the production of secondary vascular tissue in the form of secondary xylem (wood) and secondary phloem.


Where is xylem found in the body?

Xylem cells are in plants not animals.
