hope it helps❤

Answer 2

Conducting tissues in plants are of two kinds: XYLEM and PHLOEM.

XYLEM

• Xylem is composed of thick-walled cells, most of which are dead.
• The cells join end to end and form a continuous passage in the plant body.
• It is present in the inner side of vascular bundle.
• It helps in the upward movement of water and other dissovled minerals absorbed from the soil by the roots to the other parts of the plant.

PHLOEM

• Phloem is composed of thin-walled cells, mostly living in nature.
• It is present in the outer side of vascular bundle.
• It is mainly responsible for the transportation of food from the leaves to the other parts of the plant. Movement of food can be in upward or downward direction.

XYLEM AND PHLOEM TOGETHER CONSTITUTE THE VASCULAR BUNDLE AND FORM THE VASCULAR SYSTEM OF THE PLANT.
