Patterns of xylem development: xylem in brown; arrows show direction of development from protoxylem to metaxylem. Xylem development can be described by four terms: centrarch, exarch, endarch and mesarch. As it develops in young plants, its nature changes from protoxylem to metaxylem (i.e. from first xylem to after xylem). The patterns in which ...
English: xylem (blue) carries water from the roots upwards phloem (orange) carries products of photosynthesis from the place of their origin (source) to organs where they are needed (roots, storage organs, flowers, fruits – sink); note that e.g. the storage organs may be source and leaves may be sink at the beginning of the growing season
Cross section of celery stalk, showing vascular bundles, which include both phloem and xylem Detail of the vasculature of a bramble leaf Translocation in vascular plants. Vascular tissue is a complex transporting tissue, formed of more than one cell type, found in vascular plants. The primary components of vascular tissue are the xylem and ...
Xylem fibers or Xylem sclerenchyma; Xylem parenchyma; Cross section of 2-year-old Tilia americana, highlighting xylem ray shape and orientation. Xylem tissue is organised in a tube-like fashion along the main axes of stems and roots. It consists of a combination of parenchyma cells, fibers, vessels, tracheids, and ray cells.
Most of these cells transform into xylem and phloem. But certain cells don't transform into xylem and phloem and remain as such. [clarification needed] These cells cut out by the cambium towards the periphery are phloem parenchyma while those towards the pith are xylem parenchyma. Both of these cells together work as secondary medullary rays.

[2] Since the valuable fibres are located in the phloem, they must often be separated from the woody core, the xylem , and sometimes also from the epidermis . The process for this is retting , and can be performed by micro-organisms either on land (nowadays the most important) or in water, or by chemicals (for instance high pH and chelating ...
