Question

Why there are pores present at the perforation plate in vessels?

Answer 1

Perforation plate:

1. The vessel elements found in xylem tissue have large openings in their end walls, known as perforation plates.
2. The perforation plates may have a single large pore or multiple pores.
3. The pores help the passage of water through them.
4. Without any pores, there is no possibility of passage of water.
5. So there are pores present at the perforation plate in vessels to allow the passage of water in a plant.
