What are two functions of the xylem cells?

In: Genetics [Edit categories]

Answer:

One is to transport the water and the minerals. The cells are adapted to this job because they do not contain cytoplasm so the water and minerals can travel through the xylem more easily.

Two is to support the plant. Their walls have lignin (hard material)
