Xylem and phloem are two distinct vascular tissues found in plants. Xylem primarily transports water and minerals from the roots to the rest of the plant, while phloem primarily carries sugars and other organic compounds produced through photosynthesis. Xylem consists of dead cells and operates throug...
The below table gives a detailed description of the differences between Xylem and Phloem: Characteristics Xylem Phloem Role Carries water from the root to other parts of the plant Carries food from leaves to other parts of the plant Presence Present in roots, stems, leaves Present in leaves and...
Xylem is responsible for the transport of water and dissolved ions from the roots upwards through the plant. Phloem transports metabolites (mainly sugars, amino acids, and some ions) in solution from “sources” of production, mainly fully expanded leaves, to “sinks,” including developing roots...
It is found in the stems and leaves of vascular plants. Etymology: Greek “xylon”, meaning “wood”. Compare: phloem. Xylem vs. Phloem What are xylem and phloem? Xylem and phloem are vascular tissues responsible for transporting water and food, respectively. How is xylem different from ...

In this study, we examined the structural characteristics of A. sinensis wood and its relationship with agarwood formation. The results showed that interxylary phloem together with xylem rays is the main tissue that contains living parenchyma cells in the wood of healthy A. sinensis and that the...

They are plants that live on land and have tissues for conduction. Xylem is tissues that conduct water and minerals all throughout the plant. Phloem is tissues that conduct the products of photosynthesis throughout the plant. Vascular plants have true roots, stems, and leaves....
