Q. Are the strings of the celery xylem or phloem tissue?
For the celery, the strings have an important purpose. Celery is made up of three main cell tissues: xylem, which moves water throughout the plant; phloem, which moves food; and collenchyma, which gives the plant its skeletal structure. Collenchyma cells are elongated and filled with water.
Q. Where is the xylem located in the celery stalk?
Cutting a cross-section through stem usually shows the xylem on the inner side of the vascular bundle in a stem, while the phloem is found on the outer side of the vascular bundle. In between these two tissues lies vascular cambium, which differentiates into either xylem or phloem tissue as the plant grows.
