The movements in Xylem is unidirectional from roots to aerial parts while the movements in Phloem are bidirectional.

Answer 2

Plants have two different types of transport tissue.Xylem transports water and solutes from the roots to the leaves, phloem transports food from the leaves to the rest of the plant. Transpiration is the process by which water evaporates from the leaves, which results in more water being drawn up from the roots.
