  1. The main components of xylem tissue are tracheids, vessels, fibers, and parenchyma cells. Tracheids and vessels are specialized for water transport, while fibers provide structural support, and parenchyma cells store nutrients and facilitate lateral transport.

    Phloem tissue consists of sieve tube elements, companion cells, fibers, and parenchyma cells. Sieve tube elements are responsible for transporting organic nutrients like sugars, while companion cells support their function. Fibers offer structural support, and parenchyma cells store nutrients.
