Answer 1

Answer:

Phloem carries nutrients and food from leaves to different parts of the plants. Xylem is made up of tracheids, vessels, xylem parenchyma and xylem fibres. It is a lignified tissue. Evaporation of water from the leaves creates a transpiration pull.

Explanation:

Phloem transports food materials from the leaves to different parts of the plant body. In highly organised plants,vascular tissues,xylem and phloem are the main components of transportation system. Xylem transports water and minerals while phloem transports manufactured food.
