Waste products in old xylem of plants are stored as resins and gums.

The question is directly from Section 5.5.2. The textbook states: "Other waste products are stored as resins and gums, especially in old xylem." Just naming the two forms (resins and gums) is sufficient for 1 mark. Do not confuse this with waste stored in cellular vacuoles or fallen leaves — those are different storage/excretion strategies in plants.
