Best Answer

In xylem the direction of transport is from root to shoot, whereas in phloem it is from shoot to root and every living plant part. It is because the root absorbs water and nutrients from soil and transport the same to the leaves for photosynthesis. The phloem cells transport the prepared food material to the entire plant body.
