What is the difference between xylem and phloem?

Answer 1

They are both types of vascular tissue in plants (like arteries and veins in us). Phloem moves food (sugar rich sap, in most cases) down the plant from the leaves to the roots, and xylem moves water from the roots up to the rest of the plant tissue. They are structurally different too, and it can get more complicated then that but that's what your textbook is for.

Answer 2

The xylem transports water from the roots to all parts of the plant whereas the phloem transports organic nutrients. The xylem in a plant exists as non-living tissue at maturity whereas the phloem exists as living cells. The xylem and phloem are both vascular tissues found in plants
