What are the main function of Xylem and Phloem?

Xylem Tissues

Xylem tissues are responsible for transportation of water and minerals from roots to other parts of the plant.

Vascular plants are able to grow higher than other plants due to the rigidity of xylem tissues , which support the plant.

Components of Xylem

Xylem vessels , Xylem parenchyma , Xylem fibres and Tracheids are the components of xylem.

We know that everything that goes up comes down due to gravity . But have you seen Moon crashing into the Earth or Earth crashing into the Sun while revolving ? Ofcourse not . The answer lies in the fact that they move side ways relative to the Earth's and Sun's surface . To solve this , The Great Scientist "Issac Newton" studied the previous works of Kepler and Galileo and came up with a law for gravitation . The Law states that :- 1) Every particle of matter attracts every other particle of matter . 2) Force of attraction is proportional to the product of masses of the particles which means heavier the bodies more the force of attraction between them . 3) If distance between the particles is doubled , the force decreases by 4 times . Therefore , we get F ∝M.m/r 2 In order to turn proportionality into equation we have to replace the 'proportionality symbol' with an 'equal to' symbol and that means we have to add a constant wh...
