  • Xylem vs. Phloem: Understanding Plant Water & Nutrient Transport
    No, the vascular tissue that conducts water and nutrients in a plant is xylem, not phloem.

    * Xylem is responsible for transporting water and dissolved minerals from the roots to the rest of the plant.

    * Phloem transports sugars produced during photosynthesis from the leaves to other parts of the plant where they are needed for growth and energy.
