Plant Complex Tissues: Xylem vs Phloem
- Xylem: Conducts water and dissolved minerals unidirectionally from roots to leaves (Tracheids, Vessels, Xylem Parenchyma, Xylem Fibres).
- Phloem: Translocates organic food bidirectionally from leaves to storage sinks (Sieve Tubes, Companion Cells, Phloem Parenchyma, Phloem Fibres).
