Xylem is located in roots, stems and leaves of the plant and it transports water and minerals from plant roots to aerial parts. With phloem it forms vascular bundles.

Plants have tissues to transport water, nutrients and minerals. Xylem transports water and mineral salts from the roots up to other parts of the plant, while phloem transports sucrose and amino acids between the leaves and other parts of the plant.

An example of xylem is what moves water and some nutrients through a plant. The tissue of vascular plants that conducts water and minerals, provides support, and consists of tracheary elements and parenchyma cells. Woody tissue is made of secondary xylem produced by the vascular cambium.

Phloem is the vascular tissue in charge of transport and distribution of the organic nutrients. The phloem is also a pathway to signaling molecules and has a structural function in the plant body. It is typically composed of three cell types: sieve elements, parenchyma, and sclerenchyma.

Xylem can be defined as a complex tissue that is composed of four basic types of cell (tracheids, trachea, and xylem fibre and xylem parenchyma), remains in close association with phloem and has specialized functions like conduction of water and solutes, and mechanical strength.

Living elements of phloem are sieve tubes, companion cells and phloem parenchyma.

it’s option is tracheids,sieve tubes,vessels,xylem fibres. ​

Tracheids, vessel members and fibers are dead cells. Xylem parenchyma, on the other hand, is alive….Vascular Tissues.

The xylem tissue moves water and nutrients to various parts of the plant such as shoots and leaves. Parenchyma cells are the only living cells in the xylem. They have thin cell walls, large vacuoles, prominent nucleus, and protoplasts. They have differing shapes although they are usually cylindrical and lobed in form.

Xylem, plant vascular tissue that conveys water and dissolved minerals from the roots to the rest of the plant and also provides physical support. Xylem tissue consists of a variety of specialized, water-conducting cells known as tracheary elements.

Xylem is a tissue consisting of dead, hollowed-out cells that form a system of pipes. The walls of xylem cells are lignified (strengthened with a substance called lignin ).

The xylem is a tissue which transports water and minerals from the roots up the plant stem and into the leaves. Xylem consists of dead cells. The cells that make up the xylem are adapted to their function: They lose their end walls so the xylem forms a continuous, hollow tube.

Tommy, xylem is a tissue not an organ because it fits the definition of a tissue , similar cells joined together to preform specific functions, but not an organ, group of many different tissues joined together to perform several functions. The xylem has only one function … to transport water upward in the plant.

The central tissue (x) is called the woody tissue (xylem); the outer, the bast (phloem).
