Answers
Xylem and Phloem are called conducting tissues as they are involved in the conduction of water and food.
Xylem is responsible for the transport of water and dissolved ions from the roots upwards through the plant.
Xylem consists of tracheids, vessels, parenchyma, and fibers.
Phloem transports metabolites (mainly sugars, amino acids, and some ions) in solution from “sources” of production, mainly fully expanded leaves, to “sinks,” including developing roots, leaves, and fruits
The phloem is comprised of sieve tubes, companion cells, parenchyma cells, and fibers.
