    Complex permanent tissues are composed of more than one type of cell and perform specialized functions. The two types are xylem and phloem, which are also called vascular or conducting tissues. Xylem transports water and minerals upwards from the roots to the leaves. It is made up of four components: tracheids, vessels, parenchyma and fibers. Xylem fibers provide mechanical support to the plant. Phloem transports food made in the leaves to all parts of the plant bidirectionally. It consists of sieve tubes, companion cells, parenchyma and fibers. Phloem fibers provide commercial fibers like jute and flax.

    Complex
    permanent tissues
    Complex permanent tissues :- are
    made up of more than one type
    of cells. There are two types of
    complex tissues. They are Xylem
    and Phloem. They are called
    vascular or conducting tissues.
    Xylem
    C. Nageli introduced the term xylem in 1858. The
    word "xylem" is extracted from the Greek word
    "Xylos", meaning "wood". Xylem is a complex
    permanent, conducting tissue that conducts water
    and mineral nutrients in only an upward direction
    from root to leaves (unidirectional). It is
    responsible for
    the transport of water and minerals from roots to
    other parts of the plant, and it also
    provides mechanical support to the plant. The
    cells of the xylem has thick lignified walls, and
    many of them are dead.
    Xylem 
    • They are further
    divided into four
    components.
    • a) Xylem Tracheids
    b) Xylem fibres
    c) Xylem parenchyma
    d) Xylem vessels 
    Xylem
    Tracheids are elongated, tube-like dead cells
    with oblique end walls. The walls are lignified
    and cavities are empty (dead cell).
    Vessels form long tubes fitting together end to
    end with perforated or no end walls. Vessels
    are absent in ferns.
    Xylem parenchyma cells store food and help
    move water or sap sideways. Out of all the
    cell types mentioned, xylem parenchyma is
    the only one made up of living cells and
    contains food.
    Xylem fibres are supportive in function. 
    Functions  

    It serves for the


    upward movement of
    water and mineral salts Xylem gives strength to
    from root to different the plant body.
    aerial parts of the
    plant.
    Phloem
    • The term phloem was introduced by C.
    Nageli(1858).
    • The word "phloem" is extracted from
    the Greek, meaning "bark".
    • Phloem is the other complex tissue system in
    the plants.
    • It is the food conducting tissues of the
    vascular plant. The materials (food), i.e.
    (towards the root and stem), can move
    in both directions (Bidirectional) because
    phloem transports food and water from
    leaves to all plant parts.
    • All phloem cells are living except phloem
    fibres.
    Phloem

     Phloem consists of four types of cells.


    • Sieve tubes
    • Companion cells
    • Phloem Parenchyma
    • Phloem Fibres.
    Phloem 
    Sieve tubes are tubular structures with perforated
    walls (called sieve plates). The sieve elements (cells)
    have thin lining of cytoplasm with no nucleus.
    Companion cells are living cells associated with the
    sieve tubes. They have dense cytoplasm and
    elongated nucleus. Ferns and pines do not have
    companion cells.
    Phloem Parenchyma store food and help to conduct it.
    Phloem fibres are dead sclerenchymatous cells
    associated with phloem. Except phloem fibres, other
    phloem cells are living cells.
    Functions

    (i) It is the chief tissue that conducts


    photosynthetically prepared food
    materials from the leaves to the storage
    organs and later from storage organs to
    the growing regions of the plant body.
    (ii) Phloem fibres or bast fibres of some
    plants such as jute, hemp, and flax have
    commercial or economic value.

    What is complex permanent tissue?

    Complex permanent tissues are composed of the different types of cells.


    The cells are structurally dissimilar.
    The cells work together to perform functions
    Their function is mainly conducting water, minerals and food.
    The complex permanent tissues are Xylem and Phloem.
    Difference between Xylem
    and Phloem 
    Difference
    between
    Xylem and
    Phloem 
    What is the role
    of xylem fibers
    in complex
    permanent plant
    tissue?
    What is the role of xylem fibers
    in complex permanent plant
    tissue?

    ylem fibers are an integral part of


    complex permanent plant tissue and
    have a supportive function. They provide
    structural strength and rigidity to the
    plant, helping it withstand mechanical
    stresses and maintain its overall form.
    Why Are Xylem And
    Phloem Called
    Complex Tissues?
    Why Are Xylem And Phloem Called Complex
    Tissues?

    Xylem and Phloem are composed of the different types of cells


    The cells are structurally dissimilar
    The cells work together to perform functions, mainly conducting water,
    minerals and food.
    These are characteristics of Complex permanent tissues
