Conducting tissue in vascular plants through which water and mineral nutrients are transported.

[Gk. xylon, wood] 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.

"woody tissue in higher plants," 1875, from German Xylem, coined from Greek xylon "wood" (see xylo-).

plant tissue

Water-conducting tissue of vascular plants.

The water and mineral conducting portion of vascular tissues. This list is by no means a complete collection of horticultural techniques and terms.

A compound tissue in vascular plants that helps provide support and that conducts water and nutrients upward from the roots, consisting of tracheids, vessels, parenchyma cells, and woody fibers

System of tubes that carries water and nutrients from the roots up to other parts of the plant.

one of two types of complex tissue composing the vascular system of the stem of a plant; xylem tissue conducts water and minerals up from the roots

The tissue responsible for the upward movement of water and nutrients from the roots of a plant to its leaves. 

Vascular tissue that transports water and nutrients from the roots to other parts of the plant.

Water- and nutrient-conducting tissue. See phloem.

 The water and mineral conducting portion of vascular tissues.

woody tissue that transports water and nutrients upward from the roots.

Plant tissue that conducts water and nutrients from the roots up through the plant.

In vascular plants, the tissue that conducts water and minerals; xylem consists, in various plants, of tracheids, vessel members, fibers, and parenchyma. Back to PAE Glossary

the tissue, in a vascular plant, that conducts water and mineral salts from the roots to the leaves. cf. phloem.

the living tissue that carries water from the root to the leaves of a plant

Part of a tree between the bark and the pith which forms the mechanical structure that constitutes the wood from which the fibre is obtained for use in pulp and papermaking.

[Stem] -- Tissue which conducts water and forms the wood, made of vessels (like pores in cross-section), fibres and tracheids.

(n) the woody part of plants: the supporting and water-conducting tissue, consisting primarily of tracheids and vessels

the tissue through which water and minerals move up through a plant.

the type of tissue in vascular plants that provides support and conducts water and nutrients from the roots

(botany) 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 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.
