The tube-shaped structures that carry water from the roots to the leaves are primarily formed from specialized plant cells called tracheids and vessel elements, which are components of xylem tissue. These cells are lignified, providing strength and support, while their hollow, elongated shapes facilitate the efficient transport of water and dissolved nutrients through capillary action. The xylem's structure allows it to withstand the negative pressures generated during transpiration.
