[[Xylem Tissue]] is a [[tissue]] used in the transport of [[water]] in [[Plant|plants]]. ===About Xylem Tissue===: '''Xylem tissue''' is made of [[Xylem Cell|xylem cells]] which have died to form hollow tubes.: '''Xylem tissue''' transports [[water]] and [[mineral]]s [[Absorb (Biology)|absorbed]] by the [[root]]s up to the [[Leaf|leaves]]. ==Key Stage 4==[[File:PlantVeinCrossSection.png|right|300px|thumb|A [[Magnify|magnified]] [[image]] of a [[transportPlant Vein|plant vein]] with '''xylem tissue''' dyed orange.]]===Meaning===[[Xylem Tissue]] is a [[tissue]] used in the transport of [[water]] in [[Plant|plants]]. ===About Xylem Tissue===: '''Xylem tissue''' transports [[water]] and [[mineral]]s [[Absorb (Biology)|absorbed]] by the [[root]]s up to the [[Leaf|leaves]].: [[Water]] is transported along the '''xylem''' by a process called [[transpiration]].: '''Xylem tissue''' supports the [[stem]] of the [[plant]] making it harder to bend under its own [[weight]].: The '''xylem tissue''' is formed when [[Xylem Cell|xylem cells]] create a [[chemical]] called [[lignin]] which builds up in a spiral shape around the [[Cell Wall|cell wall]]. The [[Xylem Cell|xylem cells]] then die to leave behind hollow tubes supported by the spiral of [[lignin]]. ===References=======AQA==== :[https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/1782946381/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1634&creative=6738&creativeASIN=1782946381&linkCode=as2&tag=nrjc-21&linkId=5ec5fc3f6429e30c1d9ab9bca2bccf93 ''Xylem tissues, pages 83, 84, GCSE Combined Science Trilogy; Biology, CGP, AQA '']:[https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/1782945954/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1634&creative=6738&creativeASIN=1782945954&linkCode=as2&tag=nrjc-21&linkId=100574c08fbbb64318256eb79ed61a76 ''Xylem tissues, pages 89, 90, GCSE Biology, CGP, AQA '']
