  2. Xylem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xylem

    The basic function of the xylem is to transport water upward from the roots to parts of the plants such as stems and leaves, but it also transports nutrients. [1] [2] The word xylem is derived from the Ancient Greek word, ξύλον (xylon), meaning "wood"; the best-known xylem tissue is wood, though it is found throughout a plant. [3]

  3. Vascular plant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vascular_plant

    Xylem is the water-conducting tissue, and the secondary xylem provides the raw material for the forest products industry. [25] Xylem and phloem tissues each play a part in the conduction processes within plants. Sugars are conveyed throughout the plant in the phloem; water and other nutrients pass through the xylem.

  4. Vessel element - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vessel_element

    The presence of vessels in xylem has been considered to be one of the key innovations that led to the success of the flowering plants. It was once thought that vessel elements were an evolutionary innovation of flowering plants, but their absence from some basal angiosperms and their presence in some members of the Gnetales suggest that this hypothesis must be re-examined; vessel elements in ...

  5. Vascular tissue - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vascular_tissue

    Between the xylem and phloem is a meristem called the vascular cambium. This tissue divides off cells that will become additional xylem and phloem. This growth increases the girth of the plant, rather than its length. As long as the vascular cambium continues to produce new cells, the plant will continue to grow more stout.

  6. Ascent of sap - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ascent_of_sap

    The rigid structure of the lignin protein gives a sturdy structure to the tube, and even provides some structure and support for the plant. Xylem mainly functions to transport water from the roots to the rest of the plant, however it also transports some nutrients, such as amino acids, small proteins, ions, and some other vital nutrients.

  8. Vascular bundle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vascular_bundle

    A vascular bundle is a part of the transport system in vascular plants. The transport itself happens in the stem, which exists in two forms: xylem and phloem. Both these tissues are present in a vascular bundle, which in addition will include supporting and protective tissues. There is also a tissue between xylem and phloem, which is the cambium.
