Xylem vessels carry water and minerals on into the plant, but only in an upward direction. These vessels form a continuous "pipe" from the root to the stem and leaves.

Phloem tubes carry sugars (sucrose is more likely than glucose) and other "foods" such as amino acids produced as a result of photosynthesis.

The direction of this movement can be either upward or downward from the leaves.
