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.

Are xylem in ferns?

Yes, there are both phloem and xylem in ferns, but they are only in the stem not in the leaves.


Which goes up and which goes down the xylem or the phloem?

Both xylem and phloem are vascular tissues found in a plant. Xylem is a tubular structure which is responsible for water transport from the roots towards all of the parts of the plant. Phloem is also a tubular structure but is responsible for the transportation of food and other nutrients needed by plant. Xylem imports water and minerals while Phloem transports water and food. Xylem exists as non-living tissue at maturity, but phloem is living cells.


How do phloem differ from xylem?

Both are different structurally and functionally. The xylem cosists of Vessels, trachieds, and parenchyma and is responsible for conduction of water and minerals. the phloem consists of sieve tubes, companion cells and phloem parenchyma and is responsible for conductions of prepared food material in different parts of the plant.


Could you tell the difference between a xylem and a phloem in a plant just by looking at the direction in which substances move in these tissues?

No; they're both hidden in the vein, plus, the substances in each the xylem and phloem travel upward. The xylem carries water absorbed by the plant's roots up into the leaf, and the phloem carries the food made during photosynthesis upward throughout the plant;
