Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Phloem is the vascular tissue responsible for conducting and distributing food (sugars and other organic compounds) to plant cells. Xylem, on the other hand, is the tissue responsible for conducting and distributing water and minerals. Parenchyma, collenchyma, and sclerenchyma are all types of ground tissue, which make up the bulk of many plant structures and serve a variety of functions such as support, storage, and photosynthesis.
