Difference between Protophloem and Metaphloem: A Comparison Table
Protophloem vs Metaphloem Similarities and Difference between Protophloem and Metaphloem Vascular bundles (fascicles) are the component of the stelar system in higher plants and their main function is the conduction of water, minerals and food materials. Typically, a vascular bundle composed of xylem and phloem arranged together as bundles. In […]
