Phloem and xylem are both types of vascular tissue in plants, but they serve different functions. Xylem is primarily responsible for transporting water and dissolved minerals from the roots to the rest of the plant, while phloem transports organic nutrients, particularly sugars produced through photosynthesis, from the leaves to other parts of the plant. Additionally, xylem consists mainly of vessel elements and tracheids, which are dead at maturity, whereas phloem contains living cells, such as sieve tube elements and companion cells.
Only flows in one direction
The vascular plants are differentiated in to root and shoot having conducting tissue in the form of xylem and phloem whereas mosses and liverworts have rhizoides in place of roots and lack xylem and phloem.
Both are different structurally and functionally. The xylem cosists of Vessels, trachieds, and parenchyma and is responsible for conduction of water and minerals. the phloem consists of sieve tubes, companion cells and phloem parenchyma and is responsible for conductions of prepared food material in different parts of the plant.
This is the vascular tissue xylem.
Tubes, such as phloem tubes, primarily transport organic nutrients like sugars, while xylem vessels are responsible for carrying water and minerals from the roots to the rest of the plant. Additionally, xylem vessels are composed of dead cells that provide structural support, whereas phloem tubes consist of living cells that facilitate nutrient transport. Lastly, xylem transport occurs unidirectionally (upward), while phloem transport is bidirectional, moving nutrients to various parts of the plant as needed.
Xylem is a one way flow
differ in such a way that xylem transport water while phloem transport food and nutrients

The Vascular Cambium adds cells on both sides, producing secondary Xylem toward the inside of the stem This is true for most vascular plants except for the order Myrtales that has phloem on both sides of the xylem. The cambium structure is quite different in this order.
The vascular plants are differentiated in to root and shoot having conducting tissue in the form of xylem and phloem whereas mosses and liverworts have rhizoides in place of roots and lack xylem and phloem.
