Xylem is different from phloem structurally and functionally.Xylem consists of Tracheids, vessels and xylem parenchyma whereas phloem consists of Sieve tubes, companion cells and phloem parenchyma.Xylem conducts water and minerals to the leaves whereas phloem transports the prepared food from leaves to different parts of plant body.

xylem
the stomata in the leaves. When the stomata open, water is able to evaporate from the leaves, creating a pressure gradient that allows water to be pulled up through the xylem. When the stomata close, this flow of water is reduced or stopped.
Xylem is a one way flow
Xylem is a one way flow
Yes, this facilitates the distribution of food material to all parts of the plant equally well.
Xylem transports water throughout the plant.
Phloem has a two-way flow
Pits are essentially holes in the xylem walls. Xylem walls are lignified by lignin, a material impermeable to war. The pits allow water to flow between xylem vessels of the plant - this is known as cross flow.
