Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Xylem is the specialised tissue of vascular plants that transports water and nutrients from the plant–soil interface to stems and leaves, and provides mechanical support and storage. The water-conducting function of xylem is one of the major distinguishing features of vascular plants.

Detailed explanation-2: -The function of xylem is to transport water and nutrients from the roots to all parts of the body.

Detailed explanation-3: -Plant stems have some very special cells called xylem. These cells form long thin tubes that run from the roots up the stems to the leaves. Their job is to carry water upward from the roots to every part of a plant.

Detailed explanation-4: -The tube-like structure called xylem is present in the stem that carries water to all the parts of the plant. The water absorbed by the root is carried through the stem to all parts of the plant.

Detailed explanation-5: -Xylem is a type of vascular tissue present in plants, which primarily transports water and nutrients from roots to stem and leaves. They also provide mechanical strength to the plants.
