Question

Why are xylem and pholem considered as complex tissues

Answer 1

Xylem and Phloem are complexbecause they are made different cells, with different roles. Xylem is made up of tracheids, parenchyma and xylemvessels. They conduct water and minerals up, give mechanical support and store food for the the plant and plant tissue. ... Xylem and Phloem are together called as vascular bundles.

Answer 2

When a plant tissue is made up of only one type of cell and they all do the same work, such a tissue is called as simple tissue.

When a plant tissue is made up of many kinds of cells, all working in coordination for a common main function we call the tissue as complex tissue.

Xylem and Phloem are complex because they are made different cells, with different roles.

Xylem is made up of tracheids, parenchyma and xylem vessels. They conduct water and minerals up, give mechanical support and store food for the the plant and plant tissue. All these types of cells are different yet work as a unit, in combination and in coordination.

Phloem tissue is made up of seive tubes, companion cells, parenchyma and Phloem fibres. These cells conduct food to all parts of the plant, give mechanical support to the stems and branches, store food and maintain pressure for the continuous conduction of prepared food from leaves to all parts of the plant.

Xylem and Phloem are together called as vascular bundles.
