Examples of tracheid
tracheid
The other type of tracheary element, besides the tracheid, is the vessel element.

Several groups of plants later developed pitted tracheid cells, it seems, through convergent evolution.

An embolism is where an air bubble is created in a tracheid.

A tracheid cell wall usually contains the polymer lignin.
From the en.wikipedia.org
For this reason, pits in tracheid walls have very small diameters, to prevent air entering and allowing bubbles to nucleate.

These tracheids have pits on their sides that function as valves, allowing water to go from one tracheid to the next, and the pits have a membrane with an impermeable middle.

Normally, water flows through the porous edges of the membrane, but if there's an air bubble in one tracheid, the membrane moves to the side and blocks off the pit so air bubbles can't spread.

- Long tubular cell peculiar to xylem
- Tracheids are elongated cells in the xylem of vascular plants that serve in the transport of water and mineral salts. Tracheids are one of two types of tracheary elements, vessel elements being the other. ...
