Xylem and Phloem are vascular tissues used in the transportation process. These tissues are from vascular bundles and work together as a unit. The xylem and phloem tissues work efficiently. The movement of xylem is unidirectional, which means from roots to upper parts of the plan. While, the movement of phloem is bidirectional, which is the inverse of the xylem.
Xylem Tissues
Xylem is one of the important tissues of the vascular system of plants. The main activity of this tissue is to transport minerals and water from roots and carry them to other parts of the plants. It has two separate chambers tracheids and vessels for transporting minerals and water.

Phloem Tissues
Phloem is also important as the xylem tissues for vascular system of plants. The main activity of this tissue is to transport nutrients and food from leaves to other growing parts of plants.

XYLEM....
1. It transports minerals and water from roots to upper parts of the plant.
2. Its movement is Unidirectional.
3. It is present in leaves, stems, and roots.
4. They are tubular shaped structures, with the absence of cross walls. This tissue resembles the shape of a star.
5. It contains xylem sclerenchyma, xylem parenchyma, tracheids and vessel elements.
6. The nature of the tissues is hollow dead cells.
7. These tissues are present in the center of the vascular bundle.
PHLOEM....
1. It transports nutrients and food like amino acids, sugars from leaves to growing parts of the plant.
2. Its movement is Bidirectional.
3. It is also present in leaves, roots, stems but transports and grow in fruits seeds and roots.
4. They are elongated, tubular shaped structures that include thin sieve tubes with walls.
5. It contains companion cells,phloem parenchyma,sieve tubes, bast fibers and intermediary cells.
6. The nature of these tissues are living with cytoplasm but without the nucleus.
7. These tissues are present outside of the vascular bundle.
