Detailed explanation-1: -Xylem is the tissue of vascular plants that transports water and nutrients from the soil to the stems and leaves. Xylem plays an essential ‘supporting’ role providing strength to tissues and organs, to maintain plant architecture and resistance to bending.

Detailed explanation-2: -Vascular tissue is comprised of the xylem and the phloem, the main transport systems of plants. They typically occur together in vascular bundles in all plant organs, traversing roots, stems, and leaves. Xylem is responsible for the transport of water and dissolved ions from the roots upwards through the plant.

Detailed explanation-3: -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. Xylem cells constitute the major part of a mature woody stem or root.

Detailed explanation-4: -What is the main function of xylem? The main function of the xylem is water transport from roots to the other parts of the plant. Xylem also provides mechanical strength. Tracheids and vessels are the main elements for conducting water.

Detailed explanation-5: -The function of xylem is to transport water and nutrients from the roots to all parts of the body.
