The main function of phloem is the conduction of organic nutrients, primarily sugars produced through photosynthesis, from the leaves to other parts of the plant. This transport is essential for supporting growth, energy storage, and development of fruits and seeds. Phloem also plays a role in transporting signaling molecules and nutrients necessary for plant health.
The main function of a bark in a woody stem includes an outer protective layer and an inner layer of living phloem which transports food through the stem
Xylem's main function is to transport water and minerals from roots to other parts of the plant, while providing structural support. Phloem transports organic nutrients like sugars from photosynthesis to various parts of the plant for growth and energy storage.
Its main function is to propagate the action potential (the 'impulse') along the length of the axon.
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.
There is structural difference between xylem and phloem. This is because their function is also different. Had there been no difference in structure, how these could have performed different function?
Xylem is responsible for conduction of water and minerals and phloem is responsible for conduction of food material in the plants.
the xylem transports water and the phloem transports organic substances.
No, xylem's main function is to carry water up from the roots. Phloem is the tissue which carries the sugar solution.

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.
Xylem and phloem
Phloem provides a passage for the downward movement of the food manufactured in leaves to various parts of the plant.
