Difference between the xylem cells and the phloem cells.in short words

Xylem cells are responsible for transporting water and minerals from the roots to the rest of the plant. They are made up of dead cells with thick walls that form a series of tubes.

Phloem cells, on the other hand, transport sugars, amino acids, and other organic compounds from the leaves to the rest of the plant. They are made up of living cells, called sieve tube elements, which are connected to each other by sieve plates.
