Functions of xylem and phloem are alike as both transport substances in plants between roots and leaves through stem . Functions are different because xylem transports sap in upward direction while phloem can transport food in both directions up or down as needed .
I will tell you both the similarity and difference between them. Both xylem and phloem are vascular tissues found in a plant. Xylem is a tubular structure which is responsible for water transport from the roots towards all of the parts of the plant. Phloem is also a tubular structure which, on the other hand, is responsible for the transportation of food and other nutrients needed by plant.
Xylem: Hard wall cells transport water and mineral nutrients in a kind of tissue called Xylem.
Phloem: Relatively soft -walled cells transport organic nutrients in a kind of tissue called phloem
similarities
In both, materials are transported in solution form
both involve use of energy
Differences
the xylem depends on solar energy while e phloem depends on respiratory energy
in the xylem transportation occurs in one direction ie down the plant while in the phloem it occurs in two directions ie up and down the plant.
they are both substances found in the veins or capillaries of plants tat are beneficial for their growing needs.
They are both in all parts of the plant, and both carry either food or water to all parts of the plant.
Carrying water and minerals to all plant parts.
its almost no diffrents in xlem and pholem
Xylem and Phloem are both vascular tissues of a plant.
it is similar by it's delay

The cells having sieve like perforations in their cell walls present in phloem are the sieve tubes of the phloem.
