Question

Name the components of xylem and phloem tissuse.State the difference between them
​

Answer 1

Xylem and phloem are the complex tissues. These are the conducting tissue in plants. Conducting tissues are those tissues which are responsible for transporting the materials from one part to another part of the plant. Xylem transports water and minerals whereas phloem transports food.

Complex tissues are those tissues which are made up of more than one kind of cells and these different kinds of cells work together to perform a specific function. Hence they work as a single unit.

Xylem and phloem are the examples of conducting tissues.

Xylem is responsible for transporting the water and minerals from the root to the upper part of the plant. The movement of water and minerals is unidirectional. Because it translocates the water and minerals in one direction.
