Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -If a plant’s Xylem is removed, the plant will be unable to carry water to its leaves, interfering with activities such as photosynthesis, transpiration, and growth.
Detailed explanation-2: -Vascular tissues of plant are xylem and phloem. If xylem will be damaged then plant will not be able to transport water from soil through roots to leaves. If phloem will be damaged then nutrients produced during photosynthesis will not be able to reach each and every part of the plant body.
Detailed explanation-3: -Final answer: If the xylem vessels of plant are plugged, the plant will wilt (shrivel).
