5. Xylem

Xylem is a type of transport tissue only found in vascular plants, such as the bamboo pictured. Xylem's job in vascular plants, is to get water and dissolved nutrients transporting through it from its roots. Without such tissue, the plant would see its last days wilting and withering. Xylem is a necessity of life to these types of organisms.
