because they are made up of more than one type of tissue
Phloem
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.
Secondary xylem
Xylem is part of the vascular tissue of plants, and the xylem and phloem together are grouped together as the stele (latin for 'pillar'). Xylem tissue is encased in lignin, the substance that creates the strength of wood, causing the protoplasm (living part of the cell) to die, and therefore be dead tissue; phloem is living tissue.
Xylem
The vascular cambium tissue makes xylem and phloem.
Phloem and xylem are the two main types of vascular tissue found in plants. Xylem is the tissue that mainly carries water, and a few minerals, in the system. Phloem is the tissue that carries photosynthetic materials through the plant.
Yes, phloem is living tissue, xylem tends to be woody and dead.
Plant tissue/ conducting tissue
Vascular tissue.
the phloem and the xylem
There are 2 types of vascular tissue in plants: xylem & phloem. Xylem is a structurally & functionally complex tissue concerned primarily with water conduction, storage & support. Phloem tissue is also both structurally & functionally complex. Phloem is concerned with the distribution of primarily organic molecules between "sources", that is, photosynthetic or storage tissues, and "sinks", or regions of active growth & metabolism.
Phloem
The tissue you are referring to is called vascular cambium. Vascular cambium is a meristematic tissue that is responsible for secondary growth in plants, producing additional xylem towards the inside and phloem towards the outside, contributing to the increase in girth of woody plants.
Xylem and phloem are the two types of transport tissue found in vascular plants. Woody stems contain both xylem and phloem.
The two types of vascular tissue in plants are xylem and phloem. Xylem is responsible for transporting water and minerals from the roots to the rest of the plant, while phloem is responsible for the transport of sugars produced through photosynthesis to various parts of the plant.
