Xylem: tree rings

This specimen is a tree ring. I found this specimen in front of my house. A tree ring relates to a xylem  because xylem tissues transport water and nutrients from the roots of the tree and after the vascular cylinder is formed, a tree's first ring will appear. A xylem is one of the two types of transport tissue in vascular plants.
