What are the two different types of vascular tissue?

Phloem and xylem are the two main types of vascular tissue found in plants. Xylem is the tissue that mainly carries water, and a few minerals, in the system. Phloem is the tissue that carries photosynthetic materials through the plant.


How is pholem different from xylem?

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.


What are tubes that carry fluids from the roots up to leaves of vascular plants?

xylem and phloem


What are the two vascular tissues found in the root and stem systems?

The two vascular tissues found in the root and stem systems are xylem and phloem. Xylem is responsible for transporting water and minerals from the roots to the rest of the plant, while phloem is responsible for transporting nutrients and sugars produced through photosynthesis to different parts of the plant.


Are xylem and phloem tissues?

Why is the difference between xylem and phloem important in a plant?

There is structural difference between xylem and phloem. This is because their function is also different. Had there been no difference in structure, how these could have performed different function?
