Explain xylem and ployem

Answer» XYLEM-\t\xa0They transport water and minerals absorbed by roots to leaves.\t\xa0This process of transport is known as "Ascent of sap".\t\xa0Xylem contains tracheids, trachae, parenchyma and fibre.\t\xa0Trachae, parenchyma and fibre is absent in Pteridophyta and Gymniosperms.\t\xa0All four parts are present in Angiosperms.PHLOEM-\t\xa0They are responsible for transport of food from leaves to all parts of plants.\t\xa0This process of transportation is called "translocation".\t\xa0Turger pressure acts against gravitational pull which allow transfer of food to parts higher than leaves.\t\xa0Turger pressure was propounded by JC Bose.\t\xa0Phloem contains seive tube, seive plate, fibre, parenchyma and companion cells.\t\xa0Seive cell is absent in Pteridophyta and Gymniosperm.\t\xa0Seive tube is absent in Angiosperms.\xa0
Xylem help in teansportation of water and minerals to leaves and phloem transport food from leaves to other plant organs
