XYLEM:-

Xylem is composed of four types of cells-- Tracheids,Vessels, Xylem Parenchyma and Xylem Fibres.  It conducts water and minerals and the conduction is unidirectional. The conducting channels are tracheids and vessels. Except of Xylem parenchyma, all cells are dead. In addition to conduction, xylem provides additional mechanical strength to the plant.

PHLOEM:-

Phloem consists of five types of cells-- Sieve cells, Sieve tube, Companion cells, Phloem parenchyma, Phloem fibres. It conducts organic solutes or food materials and the conduction is bidirectional. The conducting channels are Sieve tubes. Except of Phloem fibres, all phloem cells are living cells. It doesn't provide much strength to the plant.
