Detailed explanation-1: -Xylem is connected with the transport of water in plants. The components of Xylem tissues, i.e. vessels and tracheids help in the transport of water.

Detailed explanation-2: -Xylem transports water, minerals, and nutrients from the soil to all the plant parts. There are two types of “transport” tissues in plants-xylem and phloem. Water and solutes are transported by the xylem from the roots to the leaves, and food is transported from the leaves to the rest of the plant by the phloem.

Detailed explanation-3: -Xylem is the vascular tissue in plants, responsible for the conduction of water and mineral salts. Additionally, the xylem provides mechanical strength. It is composed of tracheids, xylem fibers, vessels, and xylem parenchyma. Tracheids and vessels are the main water-conducting components of the xylem.

Detailed explanation-4: -Introduction. In land plants, water and minerals are taken up from the soil by the roots and transported through the xylem network to the leaves.
