Xylem is one of the two types of transport tissue in vascular plants.
The basic function of xylem is to transport water from roots to stems and leaves, but it also transports nutrients.
Xylem is a part of the vascular tissue that is hard-walled. On the other hand, phloem is the second part of the vascular tissue that is soft-walled.
Furthermore, xylem transports water and minerals while phloem transports food and nutrients.
