==Key Stage 3==
===Meaning===
[[File:PlantVeinCrossSection.png|right|300px|thumb|A [[Magnify|magnified]] [[image]] of a [[Plant Vein|plant vein]] with '''xylem''' dyed orange.]]
The [[Xylem]] is a tube used to transport of [[water]] in [[plant]]s.
===About the Xylem===
: The '''xylem''' is made of [[Xylem Cell|xylem cells]] which have died to form hollow tubes.
: The '''xylem''' transports [[water]] and [[mineral]]s [[Absorb (Biology)|absorbed]] by the [[root]]s up to the [[Leaf|leaves]].
==Key Stage 4==
===Meaning===
The [[Xylem]] is a tube used to transport of [[water]] in [[plant]]s.
===About Xylem===
: '''Xylem''' transports [[water]] and [[mineral]]s [[Absorb (Biology)|absorbed]] by the [[root]]s up to the [[Leaf|leaves]].
: [[Water]] is transported along the '''xylem''' by a process called [[transpiration]].
: The '''xylem''' supports the [[stem]] of the [[plant]] making it harder to bend under its own [[weight]].
: The '''xylem''' is formed when [[Xylem Cell|xylem cells]] create a [[chemical]] called [[lignin]] which builds up in a spiral shape around the [[Cell Wall|cell wall]]. The [[Xylem Cell|xylem cells]] then die to leave behind hollow tubes supported by the spiral of [[lignin]].
