Xylem is the complex, dead and permanent tissue responsible for carrying nutrients and water, whereas phloem is the soft and permanent tissue play its role in transporting the food and other organic material produced by the green parts especially leaves by the process of photosynthesis.

Xylem and phloem are the two types ofvascular tissues, present in plants and together constitute vascular bundles. Their function is to efficiently transport the materials which can be food, water, nutrients, organic materials, etc. between the stems, roots, and leaves of plants.

hope it helps bud

jenny30: but in points
Saharshthegreat: ok
Saharshthegreat: Xylem is the complex tissue of plants, responsible for transporting water and other soluble nutrients to the plants and the flow is unidirectional which is from root to the upper part of the plant, while on the other hand phloem is the another kind of the vascular, living tissue which is responsible for transporting food and other organic materials, prepared by the green parts of the plants like leaves. The flow of material in phloem is bi-directional.

Xylem mainly made up of dead cells.
Saharshthegreat: Xylem is found in thecenter of the vascular bundle, deep in the plant and made up of xylem vessels, fiber, and tracheids, whereas phloem is found on the outer side of the vascular bundle and made up of phloem fibers, sieve tubes, sieve cells, phloem parenchyma and companion cells.

Xylem transports only minerals and waters from the roots, and also provide mechanical strength to the plant, on the contrary phloem transports food materials that are prepared by the green parts of the plants

HI FRIEND

HERE IS YOUR ANSWER :-

XYLEM :-

1) IT CARRIES WATER AND MINERALS TO ALL PARTS OF THE PLANT.

2) ON MATURITY XYLEM EXISTS AS NON-LIVING TISSUE.

3) TRANSPORTATION IN XYLEM IS UNIDIRECTIONAL I.E. CAN ONLY MOVE UPWARDS.

4) STRUCTURE OF XYLEM IS TUBULAR WITH HARD WALLED CELLS.

PHLOEM :-

1) IT TRANSPORTS PREPARED FOODS FROM LEAVES TO ALL PARTS OF THE PLANT.

2) ON MATURITY PHLOEM EXISTS AS LIVING TISSUE.

3) TRANSPORTATION IN PHLOEM IS BIDIRECTIONAL I.E. CAN MOVE UP OR DOWN.

4) PHLOEM IS TUBULAR WITH SOFT WALLED CELLS.

HOPE IT HELPS
