A gardener moves a young tree to a different part of a garden. The table shows damage caused while the tree was being moved.
| Cell involved | Damage |
|---|---|
| Root hair cell | Many of the long, thin projections were scraped off. |
| Xylem cell | The stem was bent, crushing some of the hollow tubes even though their walls contained spirals of lignin. |
Explain how the damage to each cell type could reduce the amount of water reaching the leaves.
