OBJECTIVE FORESTRY

Detailed explanation-1: -Xylem transports water, minerals, and nutrients from the soil to all the plant parts. There are two types of “transport” tissues in plants-xylem and phloem. Water and solutes are transported by the xylem from the roots to the leaves, and food is transported from the leaves to the rest of the plant by the phloem.

Detailed explanation-2: -The basic function of xylem is to transport water from roots to stems and leaves, but it also transports nutrients.

Detailed explanation-3: -The main function of the xylem vessels is to transport water in one direction, upward from the roots, through the stem, and to the leaves. Xylem vessels are very long tubelike structures made of individual cells that are stacked end to end.

Detailed explanation-4: -In plants, water and minerals are transported through xylem cells from soil to the leaves. The xylem cells of roots, stems and leaves are interconnected to form a conducting channel that reaches all parts of the plant body. The root cells take ions from the soil.
