What are the main function of Xylem and Phloem?

Xylem Tissues

Xylem tissues are responsible for transportation of water and minerals from roots to other parts of the plant.

Vascular plants are able to grow higher than other plants due to the rigidity of xylem tissues , which support the plant.

Components of Xylem

Xylem vessels , Xylem parenchyma , Xylem fibres and Tracheids are the components of xylem.

Phloem Tissues

Phloem tissues are responsible for transportation of food prepared by the process of photosynthesis from leaves to other parts of the plant.

Other molecules such as proteins and mRNAs are also transported throughout the plant via phloem.
