Tracheids and vessels are xylem elements and are concerned with the transport of water. They are long tube-like structures with partially or completely dissolved walls to form water pipes (in vessels) and pits in cell wall (in tracheids) for conducting water. Sieve tubes are slender tube-like structures with their end walls perforated by numerous pores and are called sieve plates. They are phloem elements and are main food conducting elements. Companion cells possess numerous mitochondria and ribosomes and are supporting units of sieve tubes.
