In plants there are pipe like vessels through which water and minerals can enter the plants . These vessels are made up of elongated cells and thick walls. A group of cells forms a tissue which performs a specalized function within the organism these are conducting tissues. These conducting tissues are divided into two types which are XYLEM and PHLOEM
XYLEM: it helps for the transport of water molecules , it helps a lot. It also plays a vital role in in case of dissolved substances from the root hairs to areal part of the plants.
It includes different types of cells such as TRACHEID , VESSELS and XYLEM PARENCHYMA sand XYLEM FIBRES.
PHLOEM: it is also a vascular tissue In a plant where the necessity of food molecules is there, by the use of phloem transportation process will take place .It includes SEIVE TUBES , PHLOEM PARENCHYMA, FIBRES and COMPANION CELLS.
Transportation process in this tissue is bi - directional.
