What are the advantages of having perforated walls among the vessel elements?
Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer:

It allows rapid conduction of water from one vessel element to the next.

Explanation:

Vessels are one of the two types of conducting cells of xylem. Vessels are made of vessel elements. Vessel elements are the individual cells with perforation plates. The perforation plates have large holes (perforations). Perforation plates of adjacent vessel elements allow easier conduction of water from one vessel element to the next.

The perforated end walls of vessel elements allow these conducting cells to conduct water more readily than tracheids. Stacking of vessel elements with perforated end walls make the vessel like a water pipe through which water is being readily conducted.
