English - English
A vascular tissue in land plants primarily responsible for the distribution of water and minerals taken up by the roots; also the primary component of wood
The cellular tissue inside a tree's bark - often called wood
Vascular tissue designed to help transport water and minerals from the root to the leaves The most primitive of the xylem vessels is the tracheid All plants which use tracheids are called tracheophytes
Water-conducting tissue of vascular plants
That portion of a fibrovascular bundle which has developed, or will develop, into wood cells; distinguished from phloëm
Woody tissue of a plant Xylem transports water and nutrients from the roots to the leaves It is a complex vascular tissue in plants; comprises vessels (hollow receptacles) and/or tracheids usually together with wood fibers and parenchyma cells, functioning in conduction (and also in support and storage) Xylem cells account for most of the diameter growth in a tree each year
the main part of the tree trunk made up of tiny tubes which transport water and minerals from the roots up the trunk and branches to the leaves
Part of a plant's vascular system that conveys water and dissolved minerals from the roots to the rest of the plant and furnishes mechanical support. Xylem constitutes the major part of a mature woody stem or root and the wood of a tree, and consists of specialized water-conducting tissues made up mostly of several types of narrow, elongate, hollow cells. Xylem formation begins when the actively dividing cells of growing root and shoot tips give rise to primary xylem. Eventually the primary xylem is covered by secondary xylem produced by the cambium. The primary xylem cells die, forming a hard skeleton that supports the plant but loses its conducting function. Thus, only the outer part of the wood (secondary xylem) serves in water conduction
the wood of a tree, made up of strong fibers, tracheids and vessels
The tubes which carry water in a plant's stem
Plant tissue through which all water and dissolved nutrients are conducted (see also tracheid and hydroid)
n The cells located inside of the cambium layer, making up the wood portion of trees which are responsible for wood strength and the upward transport of water and minerals
Tissue that carries water and mineral salts from the root of the vine to all other parts As a feature of vines, the wood itself is very water conductive back to top
Plant vascular tissue (i e an internal network of vessels) that carrys water and dissolved nutrients from the roots up to the other parts of the plant
The complex woody tissue of higher plants that includes systems for transporting water, storing nutrients, and structural support
A plant's water conducting vessel
The principal strengthening and water conducting tissues of stems, leaves, and roots See cambium
Plant vascular organ composed of tissues that conduct water and dissolved nutrients from the roots upward throughout the plant body
The water-conducting tissue in plants, serving also as a supporting tissue, characterized by the presence of tracheary elements
vascular tissue whose principal function is the upward translocation of water and solutes; see also primary xylem or secondary xylem
{i} tissue in trees (Botany)
Main transport system for water, minerals and some organic compounds
The principal mineral and water-conducting tissues in vascular plants characterised by the pressure of tracheids May also contain vessels, parenchyma cells, fibres and sclerids
the area of the tree trunk that is comprised of the heartwood and sapwood
The part of a tree that transports water and nutrients up from the roots to the leaves Older xylem cells become part of the heartwood Also called sapwood
Tissue used in plants to transport water and minerals
the woody part of plants: the supporting and water-conducting tissue, consisting primarily of tracheids and vessels
The principal strengthening and water-conducting tissue of stems, leaves and roots
The tube-shaped, nonliving portion of the vascular system in plants that carries water and minerals from the roots to the rest of the plant
Xylem is a woody plant tissue that is vascular in function, enabling transport of water with dissolved minerals within the plant, usually upward
primary xylem
A type of xylem tissue derived from the procambium
