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

The structure and function of xylem and phloem?

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.
