What will happen

In plants, xylem is a water-conducting tissue. The main work of xylem is that it moves water from minerals which are obtained from the soil. It transports water to the different parts of the plant.

If the xylem of a plant is removed:

i. Bending of leaves will be stopped due to the upward movement of water.

ii. Due to the absence of water (upward movement of water), plants will not remain for a long time, and this can cause the death of a plant.
