One key difference between xylem and phloem in vascular plants is their primary function: xylem is responsible for transporting water and dissolved minerals from the roots to the rest of the plant, while phloem primarily transports organic nutrients, particularly sugars, produced during photosynthesis. Additionally, xylem consists of dead cells that form a rigid structure, whereas phloem is made up of living cells that facilitate the flow of nutrients. These fundamental differences highlight the distinct roles that each tissue plays in plant physiology.
No. Xylem and phloem are belonging to vascular plants only. Bryophytae are not vascular, and do not have these.
Phloem
Yes, but some plants lack certain types of xylem and phloem cells such as vessel elements and tracheids. Tracheids have been lost in Wolffia, an aquatic plant, and vessels are not present in all conifers.

Xylem and phloem are typically found in the vascular tissue of plants. In stems, xylem is located towards the center while phloem is closer to the outer edge. In roots, xylem is towards the center and phloem surrounds it.

Vascular plants!
No, xylem and phloem are vascular tissues, characteristic of vascular plants and hence, are not found in vascular plants. To conduct water and food, non-vascular plants have other specialized tissues.
