Hi friend,
Your answer:
Xylem is a mixed vascular tissue which conducts water and mineral salts taken in by roots throughout the plant, which it provides with mechanical support. In the mature woody plants, makes up bulk of vascular tissue itself and of entire structure of stems and roots.
Phloem is the principal food conducting tissue in vascular plants. It is a mixed tissue, containing parenchyma and occasionally fibers besides sieve elements, the main conducting cells and their companion cells. Phloem maybe primary or secondary in origin.
Hope it helps!

Xylem and phloem are two types of plant tissues.
Xylem - It transports water from roots to leaves to preparefood.
Phloem - It transports food from leaves to all other parts of the body.
