What Is a Xylem Cell?
A xylem cell is a cell which is responsible for providing support to a plant. Xylem cells also make up the vascular system of plants, conducting water throughout the plant and providing circulation. These cells can be both alive and dead, and there are several different types of xylem cell which can be found within the parts of a plant known collectively as “xylem.” People who are interested can look at xylem cells under a microscope or in a biology textbook to see these cells in detail.
