Answer 1

Xylem is a tube-like structure that moves water and dissolved minerals upwards through the vascular plants. It is made up of specialized cells called tracheids and vessel elements, which are long, hollow tubes that provide a pathway for water movement. Xylem is responsible for the transport of water and nutrients from the roots to the rest of the plant.
