Xylem
Xylem explained in an easy to understand way:
Imagine trying to get a refreshing drink from the fridge on a hot day, but the fridge is located in the basement. Just like you need a way to transport the drink from the basement fridge to quench your thirst upstairs, plants use xylem to move water and nutrients from their roots to the rest of the plant. In this analogy, the basement fridge is like the plant's roots storing water and nutrients, the act of carrying the drink upstairs is similar to the function of xylem, and your thirst represents the plant's need for sustenance throughout its structure.
