• Tracheids and vessels are the conducting cells of xylem.

• It is located inside the phloem.

• It has only one type of living cells.

• Xylem has three types of dead cells.

• The conduction in the xylem is not affected by metabolic inhibitors.

Phloem:

• Phloem is a complex tissue that is responsible for the conduction of food.

• Sieve tubes are the conducting cells of phloem.

• It is located outside of xylem.

• Phloem has three types of living cells.

• Phloem has one type of dead cell.
