Question

difference between xylem and phloem

Answer 1

xylem helps to give water to the leaves and phloem helps to give food to the leaves

Answer 2

Plants have transport systems to move food, water and minerals around. These systems use continuous tubes called xylem and phloem.

Xylem

Xylem vessels are involved in the movement of water through a plant from its roots to its leaves. Water:

Is absorbed from the soil through root hair cellsIs transported through the xylem vessels up the stem to the leavesEvaporates from the leaves (transpiration)

Phloem

Phloem vessels are involved in translocation. This is the movement of food substances from the stems to growing tissues and storage tissues.
