Did you mean by Xylem and Phloem ?

If yes, here is the difference -----

Xylem is a vascular tissue in plants that transport water and dissolve

minerals from the roots to the rest of the plant and provide structural support

Phloem is also a vascular tissue in plants but it is responsible for transporting food (sugar, amino acid and hormones) from leaves to the plant where it is needed such as fruits, roots

If you are asking about Xylem and Phloem, then here is your answer.

  • Xylem is a conducting tissue in plants. It transports water and mineral salts from roots to all parts of the plant . Unidirectional movement meaning o nly upward movement against gravity . Main components include Tracheids, vessels, xylem parenchyma, xylem fibers . Made mostly of dead cells (except xylem parenchyma). Helps in mechanical support as well.


  • Phloem is also a conducting tissue that transports food (sucrose) from leaves to other plant parts. It has a bidirectional movement meaning both upward and downward . The main components include s ieve tubes, companion cells, phloem parenchyma, phloem fibers . They are mostly living cells (except phloem fibers) and their main function is distribution of prepared food.
