Both are non-living and have thick walls.$(ii)$ Sieve-tube cells are responsible for the movement of material through phloem. They are living cells.$(iii)$ The material in xylem moves only in one direction (unidirectional).$(iii)$ The material in phloem can move in both directions (bidirectional).$(iv)$ Except for xylem parenchyma,all other xylem elements are non-living.$(iv)$ Except for phloem fibres,all other phloem elements are living.
