Xylem
It transports minerals and water from roots to upper parts of the plant.
unidirectional
It contains xylem parenchyma, xylem sclerenchyma, vessel elements and tracheids
It transports nutrients and food like amino acids, sugars from leaves to growing parts of plant
bidirectional
,It contains companion cells, sieve tubes, phloem parenchyma, intermediary cells, and bast fibers.

Phloem
Transportation of food and nutrients such as sugar and amino acids from leaves to storage organs and growing parts of plant. This movement of substances is called translocation.Movement of Phloem is Bidirectional (Moves up or down the plant's stem from "source to sink").Occurrence of Phloem is at Roots, stems and leaves. transports sucrose to growth (roots and shoots) and storage regions of the plant (seeds fruit and swollen roots).
Xylem
Water and mineral transport from roots to aerial parts of the plant is the function of Xylem.Movement of Phloem is Unidirectional (Moves up the plant's stem).Occurrence of Phloem is at Roots, stems and leaves.
