Xylem transports water up from the foots. Phloem carries food down from the leaves. The circulatory system in animals is the closest analogue.
Phloem is found in plants.

The ovaries of animals and plants are very similar in their physical form and function. Both are in charge of reproduction.
Xylems and phloems look alike due to their specialized structure and function. Xylem in the vascular plants consists of similar tissues of trachieds, vessels and xylem parenchyma and perform the same function of transportation of water and minerals, hence it looks similar in all such plants. Likewise phloem consists of sieve tubes, companion cells and phloem parenchyma and perform the same function of conduction of food material to different plant parts.
The cambium is a layer of cells in plants that is responsible for lateral growth, producing new xylem and phloem cells. It plays a key role in secondary growth, increasing the width of stems and roots.
Both of them are living things so they are alike :P
in what ways are the functions of the organ systems of plants similar to those animals
It trans locate food in plants mainly. Also transport some minerals,molecules ,hormones etc
Phloem as well as xylem
for reproduction
The vascular system in plants, consisting of xylem and phloem, is similar to the arteries and veins in animals. Xylem transports water and minerals from the roots to the rest of the plant, similar to arteries carrying blood from the heart. Phloem transports sugars and other nutrients throughout the plant, similar to veins returning blood to the heart.
Cell junctions in plants are called Plasmodesmata while communicating junctions in animal cells are gap junctions
