Vessel A tubular structure that mainly conducts water and inorganic salts in the xylem of the plant. It is composed of a series of highly specialized tubular dead cells, whose end walls are interconnected by perforations, and each cell is called a duct molecule or duct node. Catheter molecules are living cells in the early stages of development. After maturation, the protoplasts disintegrate and the cells die. During the maturation process, the cell wall is lignified and has different forms of secondary thickening such as ring patterns, threads, ladder patterns, reticles, and pores. At the end wall between two adjacent catheter molecules, a perforated plate is formed after dissolution. In the angiosperms, except for a few families (such as the genus Qinlan and Aquatica), there are ducts; ducts also exist in some ferns (such as Selaginella, European fern)

The catheter is made up of a dead, cell-only cell, and the two cells above and below are connected. It is located in the xylem of the vascular bundle, and its function is very simple, that is, it transports water and inorganic salts absorbed from the roots to all parts of the plant body without energy.

Catheters and sieve tubes are both the plant's conducting tissue. ^[1]
