HORTICULTURE

Detailed explanation-1: -The xylem is made up of small vessels that connect the roots and leaves. Xylem transports water, minerals, and nutrients from the soil to all the plant parts.

Detailed explanation-2: -Vascular tissue is a system of tube like structures inside a plant through which water, minerals and food move.

Detailed explanation-3: -The vascular system is comprised of two main types of tissue: the xylem and the phloem. The xylem distributes water and dissolved minerals upward through the plant, from the roots to the leaves. The phloem carries food downward from the leaves to the roots.

Detailed explanation-4: -The tubes which form a pipeline for water and minerals from the soil are called xylem. The water is transported through the tiny root hairs, up through the roots and stems to the leaves where it is required for photosynthesis (see Plants systems B: Photosynthesis, nutrition and respiration).
