Definition
A xylem fiber cell (PO:0000274) with bordered pits with pit cavities. Source: ISBN:0471245208
Comment
Fiber tracheids generally have pointed ends and bordered pits that have lenticular to slit-like apertures. If both libriform fiber cells (PO:0004520) and fiber tracheids are present, the libriform fiber cells usually have thicker walls. Fiber tracheids have bordered pits with smaller pit cavities than the vessel members (PO:0002003) or tracheids (PO:0000301) of the same wood and a distinct pit cavity leading to the cell lumen through the cell wall.
