Xylem

7 examples of Xylem in a sentence
Right beside the phloem is the tree’s other tissue type: the
xylem.
Here at the tree’s base, there are more of these particles in one tissue than the other, so the water from the phloem sap is absorbed into the
xylem
to correct the balance.
This process, called osmotic movement, creates nutrient-rich
xylem
sap, which will then travel up the trunk to spread those nutrients through the tree.
To accomplish this herculean task, the
xylem
relies on three forces: transpiration, capillary action, and root pressure.
This evaporation, called transpiration, creates negative pressure in the xylem, pulling watery
xylem
sap up the tree.
This capillary motion is in full effect in
xylem
filaments thinner than human hair.
And where these two forces pull the sap, the osmotic movement at the tree’s base creates root pressure, pushing fresh
xylem
sap up the trunk.
