Xylem Tissue
Quick fact
Xylem vessels can be so efficient that water can travel up to 200 meters in a single day in some trees, powered only by evaporation and the cohesive properties of water.
Why this is interesting
Have you ever wondered how a towering tree gets water from its roots all the way up to its highest leaves, defying gravity? The answer lies in a remarkable tissue called xylem.
