Xylem and Phloem are two types of vascular tissue in plants that play crucial roles in transporting substances. Xylem primarily carries water and dissolved minerals from the roots to the rest of the plant. It consists of specialized cells that form tubes, allowing efficient movement of these essential nutrients. In contrast, Phloem is responsible for transporting sugars and other organic compounds produced during photosynthesis from the leaves to various parts of the plant. This process supports growth and energy storage. Together, Xylem and Phloem ensure that plants receive the necessary resources to thrive.
