Xylem tissue is important is the transport of water and minerals from the roots to the leaves of the plant. It is this water that is used in photosynthesis and also significant in the transpirational pull that significant in plant support. When the xylem is destroyed the plant wilts because it loses turgidity and dies because water is unable to reach the leaves for photosynthesis so the plant cannot make its food.
