Plant tissue that moves water and nutrients up from the roots

Real World Example

Imagine trying to get a cup of coffee from the kitchen to your office without spilling any. Just like you carefully carry the coffee to ensure it reaches your desk intact, xylem in plants is responsible for transporting water and nutrients from the roots up to the leaves. In this analogy, your arm is like the xylem, acting as the conduit that ensures the essential 'nutrients' (in this case, your coffee) reach the 'leaves' (your office), helping you start your day energized.
