Xylem carries water and mineral nutrients through a plant. Phloem carries the products of photosynthesis (sugars) through a plant.
|
|
|
Xylem absorbs carbon dioxide and phloem releases oxygen.
|
|
|
Xylem protects the growing part of the root while phloem carries water and minerals to the roots.

Detailed explanation-1: -The vascular system is comprised of two main types of tissue: the xylem and the phloem. The xylem distributes water and dissolved minerals upward through the plant, from the roots to the leaves. The phloem carries food downward from the leaves to the roots.
Detailed explanation-2: -Xylem tissue is used mostly for transporting water from roots to stems and leaves but also transports other dissolved compounds. Phloem is responsible for transporting food produced from photosynthesis from leaves to non-photosynthesizing parts of a plant such as roots and stems.
Detailed explanation-3: -What are the functions of xylem and phloem? Xylem and phloem facilitate the transportation of water, minerals and food throughout the plant. Xylem carries water and minerals from the roots to the leaves. Whereas, phloem carries the food prepared by the leaves to different parts of the plant.
Detailed explanation-4: -Xylem is the specialised tissue of vascular plants that transports water and nutrients from the plant–soil interface to stems and leaves, and provides mechanical support and storage. The water-conducting function of xylem is one of the major distinguishing features of vascular plants.
Detailed explanation-5: -Xylem Functions. Transport-Xylem moves water from the roots upward to the leaves or shoots to be used in photosynthesis, and also delivers dissolved minerals and growth factors to cells through passive transport.
