This process thickens the side walls, remove the top and bottom ones, and progressively kills the cell, leaving a tube of all those cell walls in their place.</p> <p>Source: Coursera&rsquo;s Understanding Plants - Part II: Fundamentals of Plant Biology Week 1 1.8 Vascular tissue - xylem</p> Xylem are tubes that allows water and substances to go through a plant.
