Answer:

The element of the xylem in vascular bundle is less than the phloem because the Xylem carries water which is a raw material to manufacture the food.

Step-by-step explanation:

A pair of xylem and phloem is termed to be a 'vascular bundle'.

The purpose of the Xylem tissue is to transport the water from the roots to the stems and leaves. Other compounds are also transported which are dissolved in the water. Phloem, on the other hand, helps in transporting food from leaves to other parts of the plant.
