Explanation / Answer

3. Xylem and phloem are two types of vascular tissue in plants.

Xylem transports and stores water and water-soluble nutrients.Phloem transports sugars, proteins, and other organic molecules in plants.

Vascular tissues in plants is collectively called vacular tissue system.

Xylem consists of long cells called tracheary elements that transport water. These are tracheids and vessels.Tracheids and vessel elements are distinguished by their shape; vessel elements are shorter, and are connected together into long tubes that are called vessels.Xylem also contains two other cell types: parenchyma and fibers.

Phloem tissue consists of: conducting cells, called sieve elements; parenchyma cells, including both specialized companion cells or albuminous cells and unspecialized cells; and supportive cells, such as fibres and sclereids.
