The xylem tube transports the water and minerals to the top of the plant or tree like the General Sherman. The phloem tube transports sugar or sap to all the living cells that cannot make its own sugar.
Dicot Plants:
Root - adradial arrangement = Xylem makes a cross in the centre, phloem is in the corners of the cross. No pith.
Stem - Perradial arrangement = Xylem and phloem in the same vascular bundles. Bundles arranged in a circle around the stem. Have a Caspian strip in between xylem and phloem. Xylem closer to the middle
Monocot:
Root - randomly placed xylem and phloem surrounding the pith
Stem - Random bundles of xylem and phloem
A plant needs its xylem and pholem because............the xylem transports water and required nutrients to the leaves of the plant from the soil and the phloem is needed as it transports food to the leaves of the plant........Tajera Mac
Xylem tubes carry water and minerals, phloem tubes carry sap or sugar
Yes ,they have both. In many food is stored in roots
because they have to transport liquids
Xylem and Phloem Xylem-transports water from the roots Phloem-transports food from the process of photosynthesis through other parts of the plant
Phloem and xylem are the two main types of vascular tissue found in plants. Xylem is the tissue that mainly carries water, and a few minerals, in the system. Phloem is the tissue that carries photosynthetic materials through the plant.
The xylem take materials up the plant while the phloem take materials down the plant.
Xylem caries water and disolved nutrients from the roots throughout the plant. Phloem carries/ distributes the products of photosynthesis (mainly from the leaves) to the rest of the plants. A good way to remember their function is: Xylem is the upward conduction of water while phloem is the upward and downward conduction of food and minerals.
The Phloem tissue carries the products of photosynthesis from the leaves to the rest of the plant
Phloem transports food and xylem transports water and minerals:)
xylem and phloem are both in plants, xylem are like he veins in a plant, they carry water to the top of the plant

No. Xylem and phloem are belonging to vascular plants only. Bryophytae are not vascular, and do not have these.
All plants use xylem and phloem vessels.
