What are xylem and ploem?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

Xylem is a type of plant tissue responsible for transporting water and minerals from the roots to the rest of the plant. Phloem is another type of plant tissue that transports sugars and other organic compounds produced through photosynthesis from the leaves to other parts of the plant. Both xylem and phloem are crucial for the overall functioning and growth of a plant.
