Xylem carries water and mineral nutrient ions from the roots up into the tree. Phloem carries sucrose, the "food" made as a result of photosynthesis, throughout the plant.

xylem
Xylem carries water up from the roots to the leaves for the process of photosynthesis. Phloem carries the food/nutrients down to the roots.
The phloem carries the food down from the leaves. Not to be confused with xylem, which carries water up to the leaves.
Xylem carries water from the roots to toward the leaves. Phloem carries sugar and nutrients from the leaves toward the roots. Oxygen is transported by diffusion, NOT by the liquid transport system.
Phloem and xylem tissue carries material from a plant's roots to its leaves.
Xylem tissue carries material from a plant's roots to it's leaves
The question is incomplete. No options are given (for which of the following) to answer the question.
The xylem. The phloem carries organic nutrients.
The roots of the plant absorb water and nutrients from the soil. The xylem, a type of tissue in the plant, carries these materials upward from the roots to the rest of the plant, including the stem, leaves, and flowers.
Two different types of tissue: the xylem carries water and the phloem carries nutrients.
