Xylem fibres help in conduction of water upwards. [True/ False]
Answer
View full question & answer→False.
Explanation:
The xylem is the vascular tissue responsible for the upward conduction of water and nutrients from the roots. The xylem fibers are non-living sclerenchyma cells as they lose their protoplast at maturity. These cells are found in between the tracheids and xylem vessels of the xylem tissue.
Xylem vessels are very long tube-like structures formed by a row of cells placed end to end. The transverse wails between these cells are partially or completely dissolved to form continous water channels.
