Complex tissue

Complex permanent tissue in plants consists of xylem and phloem, forming vascular bundles. Xylem, made of dead cells (except parenchyma), conducts water and minerals, while phloem, consisting of sieve tubes and companion cells, is responsible for the two-way translocation of food. Both xylem and phloem play crucial roles in plant structure and nutrient transport.

Science◦
• Complex permanent tissue is composed of different types of cells. Complex permanent tissues are of two types, I. Xylem II. phloem. • Xylem and phloem together make the vascular bundle in plants.
• Xylem is composed of trachieds vessels xylem parenchyma xylem fibres
• The cells of xylem are dead; except the cells of xylem parenchyma. • Trachieds and vessels are tubular structures and thus they provide a channel for conduction of water and minerals. • Xylem fibre provides structural support to the tissue. Xylem parenchyma stores food.
Phloem • Phloem is composed of sieve tubes companion cells phloem fibre phloem parenchyma
Function Sieve tubes are tubular cells with perforated walls. Sieve tubes are the conducting elements of phloem.  Phloem is responsible for translocation of food in plants. The transport of food in phloem is a two way movement.
