Phloem tissue is the tissue in plant stems that carry materials down from the top of the plant to the bottom. Xylem tissue is the tissue in plant stems that carry materials up from the bottom of the plant to the top. An easy way to remember this is: phloem=LOWem. Xylem=HIGHlem.

In a plant, phloem tissue carries the sugars and minerals which nourish the plant.

An easy way to remember this is that the phloem carries the "phood" (food).
