Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Q. In plants, xylem conducts food and phloem conducts water.

Detailed explanation-2: -Phloem transports food and other nutrients like sugar and amino acids. Water is absorbed by the roots and is transported to the aerial parts of the plant like the stem and leaves.

Detailed explanation-3: -The vascular tissue, phloem helps in the transportation of the synthesized food from the leaves to various storage organs.

Detailed explanation-4: -Plant Physiology and Development Phloem is one of the two tissues that make up the plant’s long-distance transport system, the other being xylem. Phloem translocates water and products of photosynthesis from source tissues to the sink regions where they are utilized or stored.

Detailed explanation-5: -Xylem transports water, minerals, and nutrients from the soil to all the plant parts. There are two types of “transport” tissues in plants-xylem and phloem. Water and solutes are transported by the xylem from the roots to the leaves, and food is transported from the leaves to the rest of the plant by the phloem.
