there are two types of vessels or tubes in the stem of a plant;

xylem vessels transport water and minerals from the roots, up through the stem of the plant. they are made up of dead cells, and in trees they are seen as wood

phloem tubes carry the sap (sugars, cytoplasm, hormones, etc.) from the leaves to wherever they are needed for growth or repairs.
