Answer:

Xylem is Passive where Phloem is Active

Step-by-step explanation:

Xylem carries water from roots to leaves, and is made up of dead cells. The cell walls are thick and made of lignin.

Phloem carries food from leaves to growing parts and storage organs. This is made up of living cells. The cell walls are thin and made of cellulose.
