A tracheid cell wall usually contains the polymer lignin. en.wikipedia.org

Damage to a tracheid's wall almost inevitably leads to air leaking in and cavitation, hence the importance of many tracheids working in parallel. en.wikipedia.org

During evolution the strength of the tracheid cell walls was enhanced, the ability to conduct water was lost and the size of the pits reduced. en.wikipedia.org

For this reason, pits in tracheid walls have very small diameters, to prevent air entering and allowing bubbles to nucleate. en.wikipedia.org

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

A tracheid, once cavitated, can not have its embolism removed and return to service (except in a few advanced angiosperms which have developed a mechanism of doing so). en.wikipedia.org

A tracheid, once cavitated, can not have its embolism removed and return to service (except in a few advanced angiosperms that have developed a mechanism of doing so). en.wikipedia.org
