"it transports water and food inside the plant" is a characteristic as xylem transports water and the phloem transports food in the form of sucrose. "it support the plants stems and leaves" is a characteristic of vascular tissue because the arrangement of the xylem and phloem provide it with strength and therefore support. the last one is then the wrong characteristic.
Sugar and nutrients are carried up through the phloem vessels.
Phloem
Xylem tissue transports water and minerals from the root, the phloem tissue transport sugars from leaves to other parts of the plant body.
the fertilization
Xylem moves water upward and Phloem move food and nutrients downward to the roots.

In a plant, Phloem tissue carries photosynthesis products (sugars e.g. sucrose) from leaves to roots, growing tissue and fruits. But not minerals (these are carried from the roots to the leaves by the Xylem).
the phloem transports organic substances made by photosynthesis throughout the plant, mainly sucrose
Sugar and nutrients are carried up through the phloem vessels.
It is the Xylem tissue that transports water and nutrients.

The basic function of Xylem is to transport water (and some soluble minerals) up from the roots and through the plant. Phloem transports organic nutrients - particularly sucrose (a sugar) - throughout the plant. Both are types of vascular tissue found in plants.
