Xylem parenchyma stores food and nutrients within the vascular tissue, providing essential metabolic support and maintaining the health and functionality of the xylem in the plant.
Xylem parenchyma plays a crucial role in storage and transport within vascular tissue. These living cells store starch, lipids, and other substances, and facilitate lateral transport of water and nutrients. They also aid in wound repair and regeneration, maintaining the overall health and function of the xylem.
