What tissue is responsible for forming secondary xylem and phloem in terrestrial perennial plants?

Xylem is part of the vascular tissue of plants, and the xylem and phloem together are grouped together as the stele (latin for 'pillar'). Xylem tissue is encased in lignin, the substance that creates the strength of wood, causing the protoplasm (living part of the cell) to die, and therefore be dead tissue; phloem is living tissue.

How do phloem cells differ from xylem cells in a tree?

There is a layer of living Phloem and there is a layer of living xylem. Both these layer produce dead tissue, the Phloem produces bark (dead protective outer layer), the xylem produces wood (dead supportive inner layer). Both the wood and the bark are dead. It is only the two thin layers of Phloem and Xylem that are alive.

How do fungus affects the role of both xylem and the phloem?

A fungus role is to break down dead or decaying organisms in the environment, while xylem and phloem are vascular tissues that makes up living cells in plants. With that said the fungus may try to steal its nutrients and affect the specific roles that xylem and phloem operates.
