Angiosperms have vessel elements in their xylem, which are wider and more efficient than the tracheids in conifers—that’s the textbook answer anyway. But you know, all night studying in our tiny flat, I kept thinking about my father's slow walk to the temple because of his knees. It's not just about wide pipes; it's about need. Our gulmohar tree outside, an angiosperm, seems in such a hurry with its water, pushing out those showy flowers, while the old pine near the gate is steady, patient, like Papa. Maybe speed isn't the only measure of success, yaar.
