Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The xylem parenchyma cells in the trunks of woody plants are colourless and are thought to be important in storing starch, oils, and other ergastic compounds. They aid in water lateral conduction.

Detailed explanation-2: -> Ray parenchyma cells :-xylem parenchyma cells help in the radial conduction of water, i.e., in the radial directions. It is also called the lateral conduction.

Detailed explanation-3: -Final Answer: Thus, The components of the Xylem which help in lateral conduction of water are Xylem Parenchyma.

Detailed explanation-4: -Phloem tissues in plants helps in the conduction food made in the leaves to all other parts of the plant. Phloem is composed of various specialized cells called sieve tubes, companion cells, phloem fibers, and phloem parenchyma cells.
