Answer 1

Hi friend
--------------
Your answer
-------------------

PHLOEM
---------------

It is one of the two types of vascular tissues of plants which help in the conduction of food materials in plants.

★ Its components --

1) Sieve tubes (living)

2) Companion cells (living)

3) Phloem parenchyma (living)

4) Phloem fibres (non-living)

Phloem fibres are non-living because they don't need to be living cells because their main function is to provide mechanical support. They are supportive tissues in function.

Answer 2

HEya friend,


Phloem is a COMPLEX permanent tissue used for transport of food from source to sink of the plant i.e from leaves to different parts where food is needed 

Phloem is made up of the following tissues
1) sieve elements 
2) companion cells
3)Phloem Fibres
4)Phloem Parenchyma

OUT of the above Phloem Fibres are DEAD as they are made of sclerenchymatous cells 

XYLEM is considered as DEAD because all the elements except Xylem parenchyma are dead

 PHLOEM is considered as LIVING because  all elements except fibres are LIVING 

hope it helps!!!!!!!
