Which structures in animals are similar to xylem and phloem in plants?

arteries and veins are similar to the both xylem and phloem of the plant. Xylem and phloem, vein and arteries both carry nutrient and mineral in the plant and animal respectively. Xylem moves water and mineral up the root, phloem moves sugars produced by the plant from leaves to other part of the plant.

veins carry blood to the heart while arteries blood throughout the body.

The veins, arteries, and capillaries. Xylem and phloem are transport tissues in plants similar to the veins, arteries and capillaries in animals The xylem tissue transports water from roots to shoots and leaves of plants. But unlike plants, the veins and arteries carry oxygenated and deoxygenated blood to and out of the heart. While phloem transports soluble organic compounds made during photosynthesis. The phloem is the exact replica of capillaries because they carry nutrients and oxygen to tissues and remove waste products.
