In young roots water enters directly into xylem vessels and tracheids.why?

Dear Student,
In young roots, water enters directly into the xylem vessels and tracheids since these are non living conduits and they are part of the apoplast. The mechanism is based on purely physical forces because the xylem and tracheids are lifeless. Hence, roots are not needed.
