Xylem And Phloem Diagram. Transports water and mineral salts from the roots up to other parts of the plant while phloem. In mono cotyledons unlike the xylem elements sieve tubes first appeared in the aerial organs the course being from the leaves to the stem and lastly to the roots.
Ontogeny of the sieve elements. Plant transport tissues xylem and phloem. Xylem is the dead permanent tissue that carries water and minerals from roots to all other parts of the plant.
Xylem tissue is used mostly for transporting water from roots to stems and leaves but also transports other dissolved compounds.
One xylem and one phloem are known as a vascular bundle and most plants have multiple vascular bundles running the length of their leaves stems and roots. Between the leaves and other parts of the plant. Plants perform a similar function of transporting these nutrients what we know as sap by using complex tissues called xylem and phloem. Transports sucrose and amino acids.
