Definitions:

Sieve Element

A specialized cell in the phloem of vascular plants, responsible for the transport of sugars and other nutrients throughout the plant.

Vessel Element

A type of cell found in the xylem of plants, involved in water transportation; these cells are elongated and connect end to end to form tubes.

Companion Cell

A type of cell in plants that supports the function of the adjacent sieve tube elements in the phloem, facilitating the transport of sugars.

Transpiration

A system wherein water travels from the roots up to minuscule openings underneath the leaves of plants, turning into vapor that is then discharged into the atmosphere.
