Detailed explanation-1: -Similarities between Xylem and Phloem Ø Both xylem and phloem are complex tissue composed of more than one type of cells. Ø Both are the components of vascular tissue system of plants. Ø Both contain living and dead cells. Ø Both contain parenchymatous cells.
Detailed explanation-2: -Xylem transports and stores water and water-soluble nutrients in vascular plants. Phloem is responsible for transporting sugars, proteins, and other organic molecules in plants. Vascular plants are able to grow higher than other plants due to the rigidity of xylem cells, which support the plant.
Detailed explanation-3: -Phloem is living tissue, responsible for transporting food and other organic materials. Xylem consists of dead cells (parenchyma is the only living cells present in the xylem). Pholem mainly contains living cells (fibres are the only dead cells in the phloem). They comprise of xylem vessels, fibre and tracheids.
