Differentiate phloem from xylem.

Xylem function is to transport water and minerals.

phloem function is to transport food to different parts of plants.

Explanation:

We can Differentiate phloem from xylem by following ways

Xylem function is to carry water from the root region to leaves, whereas phloem function is to transport the food prepared in the leaves to the other parts of the plants. Xylem is composed of dead cells, whereas phloem is composed of living cells. cell wall present in the xylem is thick and made of lignin, whereas in the phloem cell wall is thin and made of cellulose. xylem tissue moves in unidirectional whereas in phloem tissue movement occur in bi-direction.
