Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Tracheids are long, thin, water-conducting cells in gymnosperms and angiosperms, and they are formed from a single cell. This is in contrast to vessels, which are formed from multiple cells stacked end-to-end to form a continuous channel for water transport. Tracheids also have pits in their cell walls, which allow water movement between adjacent cells, while vessels lack pits and rely on perforations in their end walls for water movement. Tracheids and vessels both transport water, and they are both found in the xylem tissue of plants.
