21. Xylem

This image shows the Xylem of a tree. The Xylem is the portion of a plant where water and nutrients are conducted upward from the roots. On a tree, it is often referred to as the bark. This picture illustrates the xylem well because it shows the contrast in color between the dark xylem and light phloem, which it surrounds.
