Xylem

Xylem is the vascular tissue in trees and plants responsible for transporting water and dissolved nutrients from the roots to the leaves and other parts of the plant. Xylem cells form the wood of the tree, and as they age, they become lignified, providing structural support. Xylem is essential for plant health, enabling water and nutrients to move upward through the plant, contributing to growth and photosynthesis.
