The special type of cell that carries water in a plant is called xylem. Xylem cells, which include tracheids and vessel elements, are specialized for the conduction of water and dissolved minerals from the roots to the rest of the plant. They have thick, lignified walls that provide structural support and facilitate efficient water transport through capillary action and pressure differences.

Is a xylem cell a plant or human cell?

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.)Phloem

How can you identify which cell is the plant and which cell is an animal cell?

An animal cell has a cell wall around the cell membrane and is a rectangular shape, where as an animal cell does not have a cell wall and is a circular shape. Also a plant cell has chloroplast which carries out photosynthesis.
