✓

Answer

No.	Xylem	Phloem
1.	Xylem tissues are tubular shaped structure, with the absence of cross walls. This tissue resembles the shape of a star.	Phloem tissues are elongated, tubular shaped structures that include thin sieve tubes with walls.
2.	Xylem occupies the centre of the vascular bundle.	Phloem is located on the outer side of the vascular bundle.
3.	Xylem fibres are smaller.	Phloem fibres are larger.
4.	They are present in leaves, stems, and roots.	They are present in leaves, roots, stems but transports and grow in fruits seeds and roots.
5.	These tissues move in a Unidirectional. (only in one direction – upward direction)	These tissues move in a Bidirectional. (both the ways – up and down)

The scientists now say that there are actually five states of matter A, B, C, D and E. The state A has a fixed volume but no fixed shape. The state B can be compressed very easily by applying pressure and state C has a fixed shape as well as a fixed volume. The state D is mixture of free electrons and ions whereas state E is named after an Indian scientist and a famous physicist.
