Summary Introduction
Introduction: Xylem contains elongated cells called as tracheids to transport water and minerals from the root to the leaves of the plants. Presence of tracheids is the main characteristics of vascular plants; otherwise, the plants are called as non-vascular plants. Tracheids function as major vessels for water transport and also provide structural support to the plants.
