Question

How is movement of substances in xylem different from that of phloem?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

Xylem carry water only and phloem carry on other food material which are needed to plant.
