| Xylem description |
|---|
| Xylem is one of the two types of transport tissue in vascular plants, phloem being the other. The basic function of xylem is to transport water from roots to shoots and leaves, but it also transports nutrients. The word "xylem" is derived from the Greek word (xylon), meaning "wood"; the best-known xylem tissue is wood, though it is found throughout the plant. The term was introduced by Carl Nägeli in 1858. |
