- Made up of tracheids, vessels, xylem prenchyma and xylem fibres.
- Conducting (vessels and tracheids) cells are dead.
- Conduction is unidirectional.
- Conduction does not require any expenditure of energy.
- Translocates food from the leaves to the storage organs and growing parts of the plant.
- Made up of sieve tubes, companion cells, phloem parenchyma and phloem fibres.
- Conducting cells (sieve tubes) are living.
- Conduction is bidirectional.
- Conduction requires expenditure of energy.
