Question

Name the tissue that water travels up from the roots to shoots in a deciduous tree.

Answer 1

The tissue that water travels up from the roots to shoots in a deciduous tree is xylem.

What is xylem?

• Xylem is one among the two types of transport tissue in vascular plants, the opposite being phloem.
• Transport water from roots to stems and leaves is the main function of xylem, but it also transports nutrients.
• The word xylem springs from the Ancient Greek word ξύλον (xylon), meaning "wood"; the best-known xylem tissue is wood, though it's found throughout a plant. The term was introduced by Carl Nägeli in 1858.
• The long tracheary elements are the most distinctive xylem cells that transport water. Tracheid and vessel elements are distinguished by their shape; vessel elements are shorter, and are connected together into long tubes that are called vessels.
