Xylem--:
1. Xylem is usually found deep in the plant
2. It conducts water or sap
3. In older plants, xylem often constitutes bulk of the plant body.
4. The conducting or tracheary cells are dead.
5. Xylem is made up of three types of dead cells (vessels, tracheids, xylem fibres)
6. There is one type of living cells (xylem parenchyma)
Phloem--:
1. Xylem is usually situated towards the outer side of the plant.
2. It conducts organic food
3. Phloem always forms a small part of the plant body.
4. The conducting cells are living.
5. Phloem contains only one type of dead cells (phloem fibres).
6. There are three types of living cells (sieve tube cells, companion cells and phloem parenchyma)

Xylem Tissues
Xylem is one of the important tissues for vascular system of plants. The main activity of this tissue is to transport minerals and water from roots and send them to other parts of the plants. It has two separate chambers like tracheids and vessels for transporting minerals and water.
Phloem Tissues
Phloem is also important as the xylem tissues for vascular system of plants. The main activity of this tissue is to transport nutrients and food from leaves to other growing parts of plants.
Xylem
It transports minerals and water from roots to upper parts of the plant.
Unidirectional
It is present in leaves, stems, roots.
These are in tubular shapes without cross walls. Looks star in shape
It contains xylem parenchyma, xylem sclerenchyma.
These are at the center of the vascular bundle
Phloem
It transports nutrients and food like amino acids, sugars from leaves to growing parts of plant.
Bidirectional
It is also present in leaves, roots, stems but transports and growth in fruits seeds and roots.
These are structured in elongated, tubular shapes, also includes thin sieve tubes with walls. Not star in shape.
