Encyclopedia: Xylem

In vascular plants, xylem is one of the two types of transport tissue in plants, phloem being the other one. The word "xylem" is derived from classical Greek ξυλον (xylon), "wood", and indeed the best known xylem tissue is wood, though it is found throughout the plant.

Tracheid

Tracheids are long tubular cells in the wooden parts of plants. Their function is to conduct water from the roots to the upper parts of the plants. Tracheids are located in the xylem, along with wood vessels. They are the most important water-conducting vessels in seedless vascular plants and in...
