Water and nutrients are transported through bryophytes using the xylem. The process of translocation is used for this purpose in plants.
by diffusion and osmosis
through diffusion and osmosis
Water is transported in Xylem vessels and sugar is transported in the phloem
Xylem transports water up to the leaves.Water:Is absorbed from the soil through root hair cellsIs transported through the xylem vessels up the stem to the leaves.Evaporates from the leaves (transpiration)But the phloem transports nutrients to the leaves.
Strictly speaking all plants, for without water plants die! However algae, bryophytes (mosses and liverworts) and pteridophytes (ferns) all have motile male gametes which require free water to swim through to the female gamete.
If by "food" you mean the product of photosynthesis, this is transported through the plant (from the leaves and green parts) by the Phloem vessels - this is generally in a downward direction. If by "food" you mean nutrients that are absorbed from the soil, these are absorbed in solution by the roots and then transported in an upward direction throughout the plant by the Xylem vessels

diffusion
Nutrients as in sugars (products of photosynthesis) such as Sucrose, are transported in the Phloem, and water is transported in the Xylem vessels
An apoplast is a space outside of a plant's plasma membrane through which water and soluble nutrients are transported across a tissue or organ.
Most nutrients are transported through the phloem cells in a plant, while water (and some root products) are carried by the separate cell structures known as the xylem.

The Xylem of a plant transports water and some nutrients.
