The long tubes that carry water and sugar from the leaves to the rest of the plat are known as phloem. The Xylem on the other hand carries water and small minerals from the root through the branches to the leaves for producing glucose and oxygen. The xylem and phloem are two most important parts of plants that are required for the survival of the plant. Water is mainly carried by the Xylem but some amount of water goes through the phloem for transporting the glucose that is manufactured. The process of photosynthesis is highly dependent on Xylem and Phloem.
