The xylem transports water and minerals from the roots to the stems/leaves of the plant. The phloem transports food made from photosynthesis in leaves to the rest of the plant.

Answer: The xylem transports water and mineral salts from the roots to the stem and leaves. It is mainly made up of vessels, which are elongated tubes called lignin.

Explanation: phloem transports synthesized food substances from one part of the plant to another. It consists of sieve tubes with a companion cell beside it.
