Summary Introduction

To identify: The structure shown in micrograph A

Concept introduction: Vascular plants consist of two specialized tissues called as xylem and phloem that act as a conducting tube in plants for the transportation of water and sugar molecules throughout the plant. Xylem is a vascular tissue involved in the transportation of water and minerals from the root to the leaves of plants. It also provides mechanical support and storage to the plants. Xylem consists of two types of conducting cells namely tracheids and vessel elements. Both cells are together called as tracheary element.
