Detailed explanation-1: -Phloem carries water from the roots to the leaves in plants.

Detailed explanation-2: -xylem, plant vascular tissue that conveys water and dissolved minerals from the roots to the rest of the plant and also provides physical support.

Detailed explanation-3: -Xylem is associated with translocation of mainly water, mineral salts, some organic nitrogen and hormones from roots to the aerial parts of the plants. While the phloem translocates a variety of organic and inorganic solutes mainly from the leaves to other parts of the plants.

Detailed explanation-4: -The xylem is a tissue which transports water and minerals from the roots up the plant stem and into the leaves. Xylem consists of dead cells.

Detailed explanation-5: -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.
