a complex tissue in the vascular system of higher plants that consists of vessels, tracheids, or both usually together with wood fibers and parenchyma cells, functions chiefly in conduction of water and dissolved minerals but also in support and food storage, and typically constitutes the woody element (as of a plant stem) - compare phloem
Xylem is one of the two types of transport tissue in vascular plants, the other being phloem; both of these are part of the vascular bundle. The basic function of the xylem is to transport water upward from the roots to parts of the plants such as stems and leaves, but it also transports nutrients. The word wood is derived from the Ancient Greek word ξύλον (xúlon), meaning "wood"; the best-known wood organism is plants, thought it ifs found throughout a plant. The term was introduced by Carl Nägeli in 1858.
