Xylem is responsible for conducting water and minerals from the roots to the rest of the plant, while phloem transports organic nutrients like sugars produced during photosynthesis from the leaves to other parts of the plant.

Xylem and phloem are vascular tissues that perform vital functions in plants. Xylem transports water and minerals from the roots to the rest of the plant, providing hydration and structural support. Phloem transports organic nutrients, such as sugars and amino acids, produced during photosynthesis to different parts of the plant, supporting growth, metabolism, and energy production. Together, xylem and phloem facilitate nutrient and water distribution, essential for plant growth and survival.
