Best Answer

Protoxylem is the first part of the primary vascular tissue in plants called xylem that matures. Its function is to transport water to the shoot in the early stages of the growth of the plant.

Metaxylem is a part of primary xylem that differentiates after the protoxylem.

What is xylem and ploem in the flower?

It's in the stems not the flowers. Xylem and phloem are the pipes in a plant through which nutrients and water travel. Similar to the arteries and veins of a human. The xylem tubes are the pipes through which water and minerals travel from the roots up to every other part of the plant. The phloem are the pipes through which the food (glucose) travels from the leaves to every other part of the plant.
