Xylem is the complex conducting tissue in the plants. It is responsible for the translocation of water, mineral salts and ions. Plants utilize nitrogen in the form of ammonia (NH_{4}^{+}) or nitrate (NO_{3}^{-}) ions. Hence organic nitrogen is not translocated. The transport of hormones majorly occurs in pholem.
