Question

What is the main function of xylem tissue in the plant transport system?

Answer 1

It is a way of transporting water and solutes from the roots to the leaves in the transpiration stream. Xylem vessels consist of dead cells.

They have a thick, strengthened cellulose cell wall with a hollow lumen, whereas phloem vessels transport food substances around the plant (made in the leaves), and are made out of living cells.

They are both in a structure called the vascular bundle of a plant.
