Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -There are two major types of xylem fibers: (1) fiber tracheids and (2) libriform fibers. Fiber tracheids are rather involved in providing mechanical support than in conduction.
Detailed explanation-2: -Xylem consists of tracheids, vessels, parenchyma, and fibers. Vessels consist of vessel elements joined together in files by large perforation plates, large gaps in the end walls between successive vessel elements, while tracheids have tapering ends that overlap with adjacent cells, and lack perforation plates.
