Tracheids differ from other tracheary elements in:

1. Having casparian strips
2. Being imperforate
3. Lacking nucleus
4. Being lignified

Correct answer: Being imperforate

Solution

Tracheids are xylem conducting cells that lack perforation plates, so water moves through pits instead of open end walls. Other tracheary elements, especially vessel elements, are perforated.
