Answer:

Difference between Xylem and Phloem:

Xylem carries water and mineral from roots to different parts of plants, i,e., vertically upwards. All the cells are dead except xylem parenchyma.

Phloem carries food from leaves to different parts of the plants, i.e., conducts in both directions upwards and downwards. All the cell elements are living except Phloem fibres that are dead cells.
