There are two types of vascular tissue in plants - the xylem and phloem
Xylem are elongated water conducting cells. The walls of the xylem are perforated and allow water and salts to pass though side ways from cell to cell.
The walls of the xylem tissue are strengthened by deposition of lignin on them. This lignin makes the cell woody and impermeable. Xylem is the wood in woody plants that also help in supporting the plants.
Phloem are living cells supported by companion cells. The end walls of these calls are perforated and allow organic solutes to flow to different parts of the plant.

∙ 12y agoThe phloem vessels transport food and the xylem transports water and minerals, the xylem and phloem make up the vascular system.
An easy way to remember this is Phloem sounds like "Food"

What are two ways that vascular tissue is important?
Vascular TissueMost seed plants live on land. Recall from Chapter 4 that land plants face many challenges, including standing upright and supplying all their cells with food and water. Like ferns, seed plants meet these two challenges with vascular tissue. The thick walls of the cells in the vascular tissue help support the plants. In addition, food, water, and nutrients are transported throughout the plants in vascular tissue.There are two types of vascular tissue. Phloem (floh um) is the vascular tissue through which food moves. When food is made in the leaves, it enters the phloem and travels to other parts of the plant. Water and minerals, on the other hand, travel in the vascular tissue called xylem (zy lum). The roots absorb water and minerals from the soil. These materials enter the root's xylem and move upward into the stems and leaves.
What moves food back down through a vascular plant?
the pipes moves food back down through the plant.
How do plants get water from their environment?
The water moves into transport tissue/tubes in the roots called xylem if the plant is vascular. Nonvascular plants have no xylem. Water moves from cell to cell in nonvascular plants. In both cases, the type of movement is called osmosis.
When water moves up the vascular tubes through stomata?
Transpiration
What are vascular tissues used for?
In botany, vascular tissues include xylem and phloem. Xylem is the type of vascular tissue that moves water and dissolved nutrients from the roots to the leaves. The xylem are one-way roads, however. No particles can move down the tree through the xylem. Phloem are the tubes in plants responsible for transporting sugars from the leaves to the roots and vice-versa. These are the tubes that are like normal roads. The sugars in the phloem are able go from the roots to the leaves and from the leaves to the roots. In subjects other than botany, I have no idea what vascular tissue is used for. Hopefully the information I gave you is what you needed.
What is pholeum?
Phloem is the vascular tissue that which food moves through
What are the different between xylem and phloem?
They are both types of vascular tissue in plants, but phloem moves food down the plant from the leaves to the roots, whereas xylem moves water from the roots up to the rest of the plant tissue.
What type of vascular tissue moves material from the roots to other parts of a plant?
That vascular material ( actually tissue ) is called xylem.
What moves sugars that are made in the plant's leaves?
phloem in vascular tissue.
What moves sugars that are made in plant leaves?
phloem in vascular tissue.

What moves up the stem to the leaves?
Water
Tissue that moves food from leaves to other plant parts is called?
Stomata Vascular tissue, specially the phloem
What moves the sugars produced by plants?
Sugars are the food of plant. Food is trans located through phloem tissue.
What moves food back down through a vascular plant?
the pipes moves food back down through the plant.
