Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Tracheids, vessel elements, and sclereids all serve their function when they are dead. Tracheids and vessel elements are both types of cells found in xylem, which function to conduct water and minerals up the plant. Sclereids are found in various plant tissues, and function to provide structural support, but also have a dead body. While all three cell types have specialized cell walls, they are all dead at maturity.
