Explain how xylem and phloem contribute to the strength of wood.

Xylem and phloem are complex, transport tissues of plants wherein the distribution of food, nutrients, and water to all parts of the plants are being done here. These vascular plants are able to grow taller than the other plants due to the rigidity and strength of xylem cells, which support the plant. Xylem is considered as the primary component of wood.
